A uniform nonrelativistic electron column has radial electric field $E_r=-n_{e}er/(2{ϵ}_0)$ inside its radius. A relativistic proton therefore has focusing strength $K=e^2{n}_e/(2{ϵ}_{0}pv)$ per unit length. Electron-current magnetic effects are small under the stated nonrelativistic assumption. To change the nominal doublet strength $1/L^{\ast }$ by $10^{-4}$ requiresOne illustrative choice is a one-metre lens with $n_e\simeq 1.1\times 10^{16}$ m${}^{-3}$; other density-length combinations work. The electron beam must cover the proton beam and have a sufficiently uniform profile. Its placement changes the detailed transfer-map correction; the estimate treats the required additional integrated focusing at the entrance and does not claim a uniquely specified electron-lens engineering design.
