I'm interested in reading about such an experiment. I thought applying a magnetic field only distorts the electron beam shadow of the cross. Since all electrons are supposedly the same mass and charge there should only be one electron beam shadow of the cross. There is only one electron beam shadow but this leaves the undeflected shadow of the photon which was cast by the same source of the gun. See experiment 2 Maltese cross at the bottom it mentions the photons casting. http://cronodon.com/Atomic/Electron.htmlwhen I was working for my Uncle Sam a magnetic shadow was simply the shape/density change of magnetic field lines (magnetic flux) caused by the presence or movement of anything that could distort those field lines Here's a paper that looks at the magnetic shadow effect around planet Mars http://www.terrapub.co.jp/journals/EPS/pdf/2012/6402/64020247.pdfThe magnetic shadow effect seems to be akin to radiant energy, energetic particle deflection which is the result of a magnetic or electric field and a target object in the radiant path, in the case of photons it could be used to separate the particles and because the mass and energy of the radiant stream particles varies it would be possible to cast a varying shadow with distinct groups, a bit like a prism refracts light into streams of different wavelengths. You could say there are 2 separate effects , electric shadow and magnetic shadow, SM mentioned only Magnetic, this is interesting so i now need to work out why, and i feel that it could be due to him using a solid medium instead of a vacuum in which he creates the refraction of radiation.
