Electromagnetism and Beta Decay

[ShrodingersCat]

Hello!

I am participating in a STEM fair(I am a middle schooler), and my scientific question is :
Does the angle of the particle trails increase from beta decay when you introduce an electromagnetic influence?

I have been at a loss for finding a helpful site. The ones that I have come across are mediocre, or cross over into an advanced field that I am not prepared to look into.

My endeavors for researching an answer were all in vain, so I inferenced my hypothesis with what limited knowledge I have.

I am currently browsing through different online databases(Duke, Cornell, etc). If anyone could guide me to a site,book, or person that would be awesome!
Thank you!

A magnetic field will make the beta decay electrons curve in a circular or helical path.
Any elementary college physics text should describe this.

Thanks! That is what i had hypothesized.
