Description

Topics in proton-driven PWFA will be addressed. These include the commissioning and operation of a novel plasma source for the AWAKE experiment at CERN, simulation studies of an FFA-based proton-driver for bringing electron beams to the many 100 GeV and TeV region, and the development of an energy-correction scheme for accelerated bunches exiting the plasma.
