Particle physics applications of the AWAKE acceleration scheme
A. Caldwell, J. Chappell, P. Crivelli +11
The AWAKE experiment had a very successful Run 1 (2016-8), demonstrating proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration for the first time, through the observation of the modulation o…
AWAKE: On the path to particle physics applications
Allen Caldwell, Edda Gschwendtner, Konstantin Lotov +2
Proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration allows the transfer of energy from a proton bunch to a trailing bunch of particles, the `witness' particles, via plasma electrons. The A…
External Electron Injection for the AWAKE Experiment
Marlene Turner, Chiara Bracco, Spencer Gessner +6
We summarize and explain the realization of witness particle injection into wakefields for the AWAKE experiment. In AWAKE, the plasma wakefields are driven by a self-modulating rel…
Upgrade of the Two-Screen Measurement Setup in the AWAKE Experiment
M. Turner, V. Clerc, I. Gorgisyan +3
The AWAKE project at CERN uses a self-modulated \SI{400}{GeV/c} proton bunch to drive GV/m wakefields in a \SI{10}{m} long plasma with an electron density of $n_{pe} = 7 \times 10^…
Experimental observation of proton bunch modulation in a plasma, at varying plasma densities
E. Adli, A. Ahuja, O. Apsimon +109
We give direct experimental evidence for the observation of the full transverse self-modulation of a relativistic proton bunch propagating through a dense plasma. The bunch exits t…
Experimental observation of plasma wakefield growth driven by the seeded self-modulation of a proton bunch
M. Turner, the AWAKE Collaboration
We measure the effects of transverse wakefields driven by a relativistic proton bunch in plasma with densities of and \unit[]{electrons/cm}…
Acceleration of electrons in the plasma wakefield of a proton bunch
The AWAKE Collaboration, E. Adli, A. Ahuja +91
High energy particle accelerators have been crucial in providing a deeper understanding of fundamental particles and the forces that govern their interactions. In order to increase…
Interferometer-based high-accuracy white light measurement of neutral rubidium density and gradient at AWAKE
Fabian Batsch, Mikhail Martyanov, Erdem Oez +4
The AWAKE experiment requires an automated online rubidium (Rb) plasma density and gradient diagnostic for densities between 1 and 1010 cm. A linear density gr…
A Method to Determine the Maximum Radius of Defocused Protons after Self-Modulation in AWAKE
Turner Marlene, Edda Gschwendtner, Patric Muggli
The AWAKE experiment at CERN aims to drive GV/m plasma wakefields with a self-modulated proton drive bunch, and to use them for electron acceleration. During the self-modulation pr…
