THE SELF-FOCUSING OF INTENSE BEAMS OF RELATIVISTIC-ELECTRONS,

Abstract

It is shown that a beam of relativistic electrons can be extracted from the electrode space of an X-ray machine, and that these electrons will form a Bennett pinch or at least will not blow up when they enter an ionized medium. The pinched beam of electrons will travel more than 23 centimeters without blowing up, while an electron beam such as this when projected in vacuum blows up drastically in less than 2 centimeters.
