| abstract: | A gaussian underdense plasma lens with peak density 5 x 1012 cm−3 and a full width half maximum (FWHM) length of 2.2 cm has been used to focus a relativistic electron beam. This plasma lens is equivalent in strength to a quadrupole magnet with a 150 T/m field gradient. The lens focused a 15 MeV, 16 nC electron beam with initial dimensions σx,y ≈ 650 μm and σz ≈ 6.5 mm onto an optical transition radiation (OTR) screen ∼2 cm downstream of the lens. The average transverse area of the plasma focused electron beam was typically demagnified by a factor of 23. The evolution of the beam envelope in the area near the beam waist was measured for both round beams and asymmetric beams with x:y aspect ratios as large as 1:5. The light from the OTR screen in the round beam case was also imaged into a streak camera in order to directly measure the correlation between z and σ within the beam. |

| abstract: | Focusing of a 15 MeV, 19 nC electron bunch by an un- derdense plasma lens operated just beyond the threshold of the underdense condition has been demonstrated in ex- periments at the Fermilab NICADD Photoinjector Labora- tory (FNPL). The strong 1.9 cm focal-length plasma-lens focused both transverse directions simultaneously and re- duced the minimum area of the beam spot by a factor of 23. Analysis of the beam-envelope evolution observed near the beam waist shows that the spherical aberrations of this un- derdense lens are lower than those of an overdense plasma lens, as predicted by theory. Correlations between the beam charge and the properties of the beam focus corroborate this conclusion. |

| abstract: | A gaussian underdense plasma lens with peak density 5 × 1012cm-3and a full width half maximum (FWHM) length of 2.2 cm has been used to focus a relativistic electron beam. This plasma lens has a focusing strength equivalent to a quadrupole magnet with a 150 T/m field gradient. The lens focused a 15 MeV, 16 nC electron beam with initial dimensions σr= 500 μm and σz= 5 mm onto an optical transition radiation (OTR) screen 2 cm downstream of the lens. The average transverse area of the plasma focused electron beam was typically demagnified by a factor of 22. The light from the OTR screen was imaged into a streak camera in order to directly measure the correlation between z and σrwithin the beam. |
