The focusing strength is given by the electron density whereas the density distribution influences the mapping quality of the space charge lens and is related to the confinement. The plasma parameters, loss as well as production mechanisms have a strong impact on plasma beam interactions. A scaled up space charge lens was constructed to investigate the properties of a nonneutral plasmas in detail. New non-interceptive diagnostic has been developed to characterize the collective behaviour of the confined nonneutral plasma in terms of an optimized lens design and parameters. Experimental results will be presented in comparison with numerical simulations.
