If you fire energetic ionising particles, like electrons or protons, at a stationary target, the important interactions are ionisation, nuclear reactions and scattering.
But if the incoming particles are traveling at high speed, will they not generate a high magnetic field? Why is such a magnetic field not important in reactions other than ionisation?
If my assumptions are wrong, please feel free to point it out!
