Abstract: (AIP)
In recent experiments plasma electrons became trapped in a plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA). The transverse size of these trapped electrons on a downstream diagnostic yields an upper limit measurement of transverse normalized emittance divided by peak current, ε N ,x /I. The lowest upper limit for ε N ,x /I measured in the experiment is 1.3⋅10 −10  m/A.
