Abstract
An intense, magnetized, non‐neutral electron beam has been observed to pinch as it impinges on a witness foil. A simple theoretical model of the effect is presented and compared with the experiment. These results are of particular importance for beams used to produce gamma rays and when beam parameters are measured using a grounded probe.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
