Abstract
A plasma lens for high energy particle focusing studies is proposed. The lens is based on a hollow cathode stable Z‐pinch plasma that operates reliably in a superdense glow mode and has the following demonstrated characteristics: Current density 10 to 40 kA/cm2, plasma density 3×101 5 cm− 3, the plasma extends very uniformly over an area of ∼1 cm2, the current pulse length is variable from ≊50 ns to well over 10 μs. The device can be operated at high repetition rates. An analysis of applications for accelerators operating at 20 MeV and 50 GeV is presented.
