Abstract

In recent experiments plasma electrons became trapped in a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). The transverse size of these trapped electrons on a downstream diagnostic yields an upper limit measurement of transverse normalized emittance divided by peak current, εNXI The lowest upper limit for εNXI measured in the experiment is 1.3 10-10m/A.
