Abstract
Plasma current lenses in a nonuniform, programmed longitudinal magnetic fie ld are considered. The longitudinal magnetic field determines the variation s in the radius of the current channel, the current density, and the focusi ng azimuthal magnetic field. The efficiency of such plasma lenses can be in creased by simultaneously decreasing the radii of both the current channel and the focused beam. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
