Dynamic focusing of an electron beam through a long plasma

The focusing effects of a 1.4 m long, (0–2)×10^{14}   cm^{-3} plasma on a single 28.5 GeV electron bunch are studied experimentally in the underdense or blowout regime, where the beam density is much greater than the plasma density. As the beam propagates through the plasma, the density of plasma el...
