    Description
In recent years, high-gradient, symmetric focusing with active plasma lenses has regained significant interest due to its potential advantages in compactness and beam dynamics compared to conventional focusing elements. A promising application could be optical matching of highly divergent positrons from the undulator-based ILC positron source into the downstream accelerating structures to increase the positron yield.
In a collaboration between University Hamburg and DESY Hamburg a downscaled prototype for this application has been developed and constructed. Here, we present the current status of the prototype development.
