A Monitor of the Focusing Strength of Plasma Lenses Using MeV Synchrotron Radiation
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
