Abstract

The use of a (quasi)uniform magnetic field opens new possibilities for the production of twisted particles having orbital angular momenta. We ascertain these possibilities. Quantum states suitable for the creation of charged particles in a uniform magnetic field are determined. The particle penetration from a solenoid to vacuum or another solenoid is analyzed in detail. It is shown that a previously proposed approach can be utilized for the successful production of twisted positrons and positroniums. We also find a new effect of increasing the uncertainty of the phase of the particle rotation with the distance passed by the particle in the solenoid. This effect, based on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, leads to exciting new possibilities for the production of twisted particles in real solenoids without additional particle sources therein.
