The plasma lens concept is examined as an alternative to focusing horns andsolenoids for a neutrino beam facility. The concept is based on a combinedhigh-current lens/target configuration. Current is fed at an electrode locateddownstream from the beginning of the target where pion capturing is needed. Thecurrent is carried by plasma outside the target. A second plasma lens section,with an additional current feed, follows the target. The plasma is immersed ina relatively small solenoidal magnetic field to facilitate its current profileshaping to optimize pion capture. Simulations of the not yet fully optimizedconfiguration yielded a 25% higher neutrino flux at a detector situated at 3 kmfrom the target than the horn system for the entire energy spectrum and afactor of 2.5 higher flux for neutrinos with energy larger than 3 GeV. A majoradvantage of plasma lenses is in background reduction. In antineutrinooperation, neutrino background is reduced by a factor of close to 3 for thewhole spectrum, and for energy larger than 3 GeV, neutrino background isreduced by a factor of 3.6. Plasma lenses have additional advantages: largeraxial currents, high signal purity: minimal neutrino background in antineutrinoruns. The lens medium consists of plasma, consequently, particle absorption andscattering is negligible. Withstanding high mechanical and thermal stresses ina plasma is not an issue.
