  abstract     = {{The plasma based terawatt attosecond project at SLAC, termed PAX, offers near mega-Ampere beams that could be used to demonstrate plasma wakefield acceleration at very high gradients (TV/m). The beam has a large aspect ratio which allows it to be used at high densities since the longitudinal beam size is lower than the plasma skin depth. This beam can be focused using a permanent magnitude quadrupole (PMQ) triplet to further reduce its transverse size. Since the beam is extremely short compared to the plasma skin depth, it behaves like a delta-function perturbation to the plasma. This reduces the expected focusing effect of the ion column and simulations show that only the tail of the beam is notably focused and decelerated. This scenario is investigated with attendant experimental considerations discussed. The creation of the witness beam by the deceleration of the tail of the beam is also discussed.}},
