In this work, we theoretically study transverse magnetic focusing in atwo-dimensional electron gas with strong Rashba spin-orbit interaction whenproximitized along its edge with a superconducting contact. The presence ofsuperconducting correlations leads to the emergence of chiral Andreev edgestates which -- within this weak magnetic field regime -- may be pictured asstates following semiclassical skipping orbits with alternating electron-holenature. The spin-orbit induced splitting of the Fermi surface causes thesecarriers to move along cyclotron orbits with different radii, allowing fortheir spatial spin separation. When Andreev reflection takes place at thesuperconducting lead, scattered carriers flip both their charge and spin,generating distinguishable features in the transport properties of the device.In particular, we report a notable enhancement of the separation between thespin-split focal points, which scales linearly with the number of Andreevscattering events at the anomalous terminal. We support our results bycalculating conductance maps to arbitrary points in the sample that provide acomplete image of the ballistic electron-hole cyclotron paths.
