Description
First beam tests of an 'active' current-carrying plasma lens were performed at the GSI linear accelerator UNILAC using a 11.4 MeV/u gold beam. A variety of discharge parameters have been tested. Very stable and reproducible performance characteristics of this novel lens were found. In a pulsed operation with a peak current of 22 kA a ion beam with an initial diameter of 10 mm was focused for 300 ns to a spot size of less than 300 μm. Plasma lenses are under consideration to be used at the SIS/ESR facility of GSI to produce small beam spots on targets in order to achieve a high energy density in matter.
