Are you saying that I could not only detect the target's presence, but the material it's made of as well?

Basically what I'm asking is if free electrons cause a target material to generate a magnetic field and that if the electrons arrived in pulses, would the strength of the field fluctuate similarly.

Consider the following experimental setup: the front half of a klystron tube (the electron gun and resonent cavity) or perhaps a free electron laser, several different targets consisting of a highly conductive(metal) object, a possibly conductive object(salt or clay), and a non-conductive...
