  2. Anode ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anode_ray

    An anode ray (also positive ray or canal ray) is a beam of positive ions that is created by certain types of gas-discharge tubes. They were first observed in Crookes tubes during experiments by the German scientist Eugen Goldstein, in 1886. [1] Later work on anode rays by Wilhelm Wien and J. J. Thomson led to the development of mass spectrometry.

    Canal rays, also called anode rays, were observed by Eugen Goldstein, in 1886. Goldstein used a gas discharge tube which had a perforated cathode . The rays are produced in the holes (canals) in the cathode and travels in a direction opposite to the " cathode rays ," which are streams of electrons .

  4. Ives–Stilwell experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ives–Stilwell_experiment

    To avoid the issues associated with observing the beam at right angles, Ives and Stilwell used a small mirror within the canal ray tube (See Fig. 1 and Fig. 3) to observe the beam simultaneously in two directions both with and against the motions of the particles. The TDE would manifest itself as a shift of the center of gravity of the ...

    As the cathode rays carry a charge of negative electricity, are deflected by an electrostatic force as if they were negatively electrified, and are acted on by a magnetic force in just the way in which this force would act on a negatively electrified body moving along the path of these rays, I can see no escape from the conclusion that they are ...

  6. Electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron

    The wave function of fermions, including electrons, is antisymmetric, meaning that it changes sign when two electrons are swapped; that is, ψ(r 1, r 2) = −ψ(r 2, r 1), where the variables r 1 and r 2 correspond to the first and second electrons, respectively. Since the absolute value is not changed by a sign swap, this corresponds to equal ...

  7. Line focus principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_Focus_Principle

    The kinetic energy of the electrons is converted into heat and radiation (X-ray photons) due to these interactions. Most of the energy carried by the electrons is converted to heat (99%). Only 1% is converted into radiation or X-rays. In order to assist with the dissipation of such high heat, a larger focal spot or focal track is needed.

    RAY DALIO: This is a study that I've been doing, and then I decided to share it with people because I think it's so important. Yeah, a number of years ago, first with 2008, we got into a monetary ...

  9. Cathode ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray

    Cathode rays are now usually called electron beams. The technology of manipulating electron beams pioneered in these early tubes was applied practically in the design of vacuum tubes, particularly in the invention of the cathode-ray tube (CRT) by Ferdinand Braun in 1897, which was used in television sets and oscilloscopes .
