Abstract

Measurements of lighter, low-energy charged particles in a laboratory beamline are complicated due to the influence of Earth’s magnetic field. Rather than nulling out the Earth’s magnetic field over the entire facility, we present a new way to correct particle trajectories using much more spatially limited Helmholtz coils. This approach is versatile and easy to incorporate in a wide range of facilities, including the existing ones, enabling measurements of low-energy charged particles in a laboratory beamline.
