  • Abstract
    Initial research on a static electromagnetic “force field” is presented. The force field consists of a planar sequence of magnetic cusps that are electrostatically plugged. Electrostatic plugging with applied potential variations that are similar to those applied to one side of a nested Penning trap allows a force field to reflect incident charged particles of either signs of charge. Experimental and computational results are reported.
