We have reported previously on the use of a Gabor lens (also referred to as a plasma or space charge lens) to focus and neutralize a low energy proton beam. A different lens geometry and a higher anode voltage have been adopted to overcome a lack of stability present in the previous design. We report on studies in progress to measure the focusing properties of the Gabor lens and determine whether it can be used to match a 30 keV proton beam into a radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ) Accelerator. 10 refs., 4 figs.
