Note: Electrostatic beams from a 5 T Penning-Malmberg trap

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093-0319 (United States)

Description

A procedure is described to extract beams from specially tailored electron plasmas in a Penning-Malmberg trap in a 4.8 T field. Transport to 1 mT is followed by extraction from the magnetic field and electrostatic focusing. Potential applications to positron beams are discussed.
