Conceptual design and sample preparation of electrode covered single glass macro-capillaries for studying the effect of an external electric field on particle guiding

Abstract We present the design and construction of a macroscopic glass capillary covered by electrodes on the outside. With these new capillary targets it will be possible to study the influence of an external electric field on the process of guiding of charged particles through a capillary. The new degrees of freedoms will contribute to both a better fundamental understanding of the guiding phenomenon but might also be of use in practical applications.
