Abstract

A novel coil system is described that enables the magnetic angle-changing technique to be used at higher energies. The system consists of coils of wire that are combined with specially shaped iron cores in such a way as to preserve localization of the magnetic field. The system extends the operational energy range of previous systems consisting of solenoids alone by a factor of 25. Measurements of the electron impact excitation of the n = 2 states of helium are presented as an example of the use of the device.
