Abstract
The motion of electrons in a static magnetic field of mirror geometry was investigated by injecting a beam of KeV electrons with a small electron gun in the central region of the magnetic bottle. The first order orbit theory was well verified by high vacuum experiment. The The mirror loss of KeV electrons was studied by filling the vaccum chamber with helium and argon gases. The mean lifetime of trapped electrons was measured by making use of the azimuthal drift of electrons as a function of gas pressure. The elastic scattering of single or plural type is concluded to be the most responsible for the mirror loss at pressure of 10 -4 mmHg or higher.
