Strong-field focusing of high-energy particles in beam-multifoil collisions
physics.acc-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 8.0

A 10 GeV electron beam is focused by its own magnetic field reflected from thin metallic foils via near-field coherent transition radiation, as shown in the first experimental demonstration at SLAC FACET-II.
