In the paper we summarize the recent results on the wide-aperture electrostatic plasma lenses using permanent magnets (in particular, the lenses with minimized magnetic field gradients). The lenses are investigated at the ...

We describe results of experimental emittance investigations of a high-current heavy metal ion beam focused by an electrostatic plasma lens. A pulsed beam of Cu ions with energy 16 keV, duration 100 µs, and total current ...
