The construction of ever larger and costlier accelerator facilities has its limits, and new
technologies will be needed to push the energy frontier. Plasma Wakefield
acceleration
is a rapidly developing field and is a promising candidate technology for
future high-energy accelerators. The AWAKE collaboration is pursuing an approach to
accelerate electrons to the TeV energy regime in a plasma. To verify this novel
technique, a proof-of-principle demonstration experiment
is being carried out using
400 GeV proton beams from the Super Proton Synchrotron at CERN.
First results
from the experiment will be presented, as well as ideas on future applications of this
technology.
