Due to external fields electrons are confined inside the lens’ volume. In case of a homogeneously distributed electron cloud the linear electric space charge field enables beam focusing free of aberration. Since the mapping quality of the lens is related to the confinement, non-destructive diagnostics has been developed to determine the plasma parameters and to characterize the collective behavior of the confined nonneutral plasma. Moreover, a scaled up space charge lens was constructed for a detailed investigation of the nonneutral plasma properties as well as beam interactions with a stable confined electron cloud. Experimental results will be presented in comparison with numerical simulations.
