Siberian snake-like behavior for an orbital polarization of a beam of twisted (vortex) electrons

Abstract

The orbital polarization of twisted electrons carrying an intrinsic orbital angular momentum is not influenced by field perturbations in arbitrary magnetic fields. This property means an existence of the Siberian snake-like behavior for an orbital polarization of a beam of twisted electrons in cyclotrons with the main magnetic field and magnetic focusing. As a result, the acceleration of twisted electron beams in cyclotrons necessary for their applications in high-energy-physics experiments considerably simplifies.
