High density relativistic beams propagating in a plasma are affected by fields induced by plasma motion. We consider the possible use of a plasma cell very close to the interaction point of a linear collider where the self-pinch induced in the relativistic beams can be used to increase the luminosity of colliding beams. We describe the benefits of this self-pinch, as well as some engineering details on the production of the required plasma. 18 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
