Electrons are electrically charged, so a beam of electrons will interfere with itself. The only way around this is to have a very narrow beam, but that kills throughput.
- bilsbie 3y agoHow about muons then?
- icapybara 3y agoHow should we produce the muons?
- m00x 3y agoMuonic generator, ofc.
- WantonQuantum 3y agoJust for the fun of it, I googled muon production and found this at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland: https://www.psi.ch/en/media/the-sms-muon-source https://www.psi.ch/en/media/the-sms-muon-source It does highlight some potential pitfalls. Chiefly the rapid decay of muons and dealing decay particles. Also you need a source of high energy protons. Proton lithograhy anyone?
- rowanG077 3y agoNeutron lithography would be better then. You don't have the charge issue.

- ars 3y agoMuons are also electrically charged - how would that help anything?
- rowanG077 3y agoMuons are much heavier while having the same charge.
- icapybara 3y agoWell put.
