Experimental measurements on the characteristics of the sole current in a rectilinear crossed-field beam are reported. The sole current may be assigned a kinetic temperature on the order of 10 v corresponding to energy in excess of that corresponding to motion in static fields. The energy exchange leading to this excess energy is believed to be associated with multiple-loop trajectories in the low-potential region near the cathode.
