The Plasma Lens as an e-e- Luminosity Enhancer: SLAC Experimental Results
نویسنده
چکیده
It is important to demonstrate the use of plasmas for focusing positron and electron beams at high energy. By reducing the transverse area of colliding beams the plasma optical element affords a potential simplicity for enhancing the luminosity in the interaction region of linear colliders. Focusing of both transverse dimensions as well as both charge states has generated interest in this technology as a final focusing element. Furthermore, the focusing strength of a plasma lens can exceed that of conventional magnets by orders of magnitude.

Oral Morphine Consumption Reduces Lens Development in Rat Embryos
Introduction: Consumption of morphine, during pregnancy, in addition to inducing defects in the mother’s nervous system function, caused defects or delays in the formation and evolution of embryonic visual system. In the present study, changes in lens development were assessed in embryos exposed to morphine in utero. Methods: Female Wistar rats (250-300 g) were mated with male rats and pregnanc...
متن کاملElectrically switchable cylindrical Fresnel lens based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals using a Michelson interferometer
Fabricating an electrically switchable cylindrical Fresnel lens based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (H-PDLC) using a Michelson interferometer is reported. Simplicity of the method and possibility of fabricating different focal length lenses in a single set up are among the advantages of the method. It is demonstrated that the Fresnel structured zone plate acts as a cylindrica...

متن کاملLuminosity enhancement by a self-ionized plasma in e+e- collisions.
We employ a 2D particle-in-cell code to investigate the focusing of relativistic charged particle beams in plasmas. The intense electric fields generated by electron and positron beams in high energy physics experiments can ionize a gas into a plasma which will then focus the beams. This self-ioniza.tion mechanism will enhance the luminosity in e+ecollisions by implementing a plasma lens in the...
