# Siberian snake-like behavior for an orbital polarization of a beam of twisted (vortex) electrons

## TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that twisted electrons with orbital angular momentum exhibit Siberian snake-like behavior, maintaining their orbital polarization in magnetic fields, which simplifies their acceleration in cyclotrons for high-energy physics.

## Key findings

- Orbital polarization of twisted electrons is unaffected by magnetic field perturbations.
- Siberian snake-like behavior enables stable orbital polarization in cyclotrons.
- Simplifies the acceleration process of twisted electron beams in high-energy physics applications.

## Abstract

The orbital polarization of twisted electrons carrying an intrinsic orbital angular momentum is not influenced by field perturbations in arbitrary magnetic fields. This property means an existence of the Siberian snake-like behavior for an orbital polarization of a beam of twisted electrons in cyclotrons with the main magnetic field and magnetic focusing. As a result, the acceleration of twisted electron beams in cyclotrons necessary for their applications in high-energy-physics experiments considerably simplifies.
