A Monitor of the Focusing Strength of Plasma Lenses using MeV Synchrotron Radiation ?
نویسنده
چکیده
The focusing strength of plasma lenses used with high energy electron or positron beams can give rise to synchrotron radiation with critical energies in the MeV range. A method is described for measuring the characteristic energy of this radiation as a way of monitoring the strength of the focus. The principle has been implemented in a plasma lens experiment with a 28.5 GeV positron beam.
