Description

This paper analyzes the focusing of particles by a thin plasma lens with physical, linearized fluid and PIC computational models. For parameters similar to next-generation linear colliders, the plasma lens strength lens strength can exceed 100 MG/cm, and the luminosity can be enhanced by an order of magnitude by passing each beam through an appropriate plasma slab. The plasma electrons effect the focusing by shifting so as to (partially or completely) charge neutralize the beam. The effects of spherical aberrations, emittance, plasma boundaries, and non-linear-plasma dynamics on the final spot size are discussed
