The stream of electrons is not making it through the glass.

Is it technically Beta radiation?

Would've been, would it managed to make it through the glass. Which,
it doesn't.

What can make it through the glass, if it is too thin, are secondary
x-rays and bremmstrahlung radiation, produced by the electrons upon
hitting the glass.
