one question that came up in our discussion:

Since electrons have electrostatic charges and repel each other, how can a
beam of electrons stay together without their mutual magnetic fields
drawing them together?

The expression of electrostatic charge is NOT dependent on motion, is it?

I suspect that a beam of electrons is always oscillating about the axis of
motion as the electrons are pulled toward each other and then veer off due
to range repulsion.

It will be very interesting to see if a beam of electrons has a magnetic
field, even when there is no external magnetic field applied.

What about a bunch of electrons caught in a magnetic trap and cooled? I
remember something about such an experiment.

Ah yes, here is an interesting experiment, not what I was looking for but
interesting anyway:

[interesting quote]
Thus the electron spends less than no time in the vicinity of the
scattering centre. This "hole in quantum space" may be thought of as
representing the destructive interference of the incoming and scattered
outgoing s-waves, a quantum hop of matter from one position to another,
the matter disappearing from one side of the scattering centre and
reappearing at the other in a process of nanoscopic matter-wave
teleportation. [unquote]
