  abstract     = {{The FACET-II facility offers the unique opportunity to study low emittance, GeV beams and their interactions with high density plasmas in plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) scenarios. One of the experiments relevant to PWFA research at FACET-II is the ion collapse experiment E-314, which aims to study how ion motion in a PWFA can produce dual-focused equilibrium. As nonlinear focusing effects due to nonuniform ion distributions have not been extensively studied; we explore the difficulties of inducing ion motion in an adiabatic plasma and examines the effect an ion column has on beam focusing. A case study is performed on a system containing a plasma lens and adiabatic PWFA. Ions in the lens section are assumed to be static, while simulations of an adiabatic matching section are modified to include the effects of ion column collapse and their nonlinear focusing fields. Using the parameters of the FACET-II beam, we find that a collapsed ion column amplifies the focusing power of a plasma without compromising emittance preservation. This led to a spot size orders of magnitude less than that of a simply matched beam.}},
