A charged particle beam consists of a stream of charged particles, such as electrons, protons, or ions, that are emitted from a source and directed along a defined path. These beams are often generated using devices like electron guns, ion sources, or particle accelerators. The beams can be unidirectional and are usually characterized by their energy, intensity, and particle type.
