As far as I understand there are these particle beams called electron beams and Ion beams. I want to know more about the magnetic properties of these beams because I have a hypothesis basically stating that you can put a superconductor in the middle of the electron or ion beam and get said superconductor to levitate in the magnetic field of the beam do to quantum locking and the Meissner effect.
The idea is to get a small superconductor disc and put it in the middle of an electron beam and make the superconductor levitate inside the beam's magnetic field.

what would happen if you put a superconductor in one of those beams?
