Bending power - magnet units question

[JoePhysicsNut]

I am reading a paper where the bending power of a dipole magnet is described as 2 Tm. Is that Tesla*meter? Is bending power actually power i.e. Work/Time? Can someone explain this physical quantity to me, please?

This sounds like a sloppy use of physics terminology...it does happen...
I think it means something like 'strength' ?
Tm looks like tesla metres which 'sounds like' a strength.
I do not think it is power = energy per second.
Where did you get this information

No, the bending power is the product of the magnet's field and length. The reason why this is useful is because a charged particle will obtain a transverse momentum of p = F * t = qvB * t = qvB * (L/v) = q BL = q * (bending power)
