Abstract: The large gradients of plasma-wakefield accelerators promise to shorten accelerators and reduce their financial and environmental costs. For such accelerators, a key challenge is the transport of beams with high divergence and energy spread. Achromatic optics is a potential solution that would allow staging of plasma accelerators without beam-quality degradation. For this, a nonlinear plasma lens\* is being developped within the SPARTA\*\* project. As a first application of this lens, we aim to implement an achromatic spectrometer for electron bunches produced by a laser-wakefield accelerator. We report on progress in designing such an experiment.
