On the plasma lens effect in a hybrid plasma accelerator — •Thomas Heinemann1, Oliver Karger1, Constantin Aniculaesei1, Bernhard Hidding1,2, and Stephan Kuschel3 — 1Universität Hamburg, Germany — 2University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom — 3Universität Jena, Germany
An electron bunch propagating into and through a plasma is influenced by various incarnations of the plasma lens effect. Such a plasma lens can operate as a focusing, as well as a deflecting device and is of significant relevance for plasma accelerators. Therefore, experiments at FLAME (Frascati Laser for Acceleration and Multidisciplinary Experiments) and JETI (Jena-Titan-Saphir-Laser) are introduced, measuring the influence of a plasma lens on an electron beam created using the laser wakefield acceleration technique. Those experiments include a hybrid plasma accelerator scheme with two consecutive plasma stages. The first stage generates an electron beam, whereas the second stage operates as a plasma lens.
