AWAKE gears up for its Second Run
AWAKE gears up for its Second Run CERN’s Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) proved an excellent opportunity for the Advanced Wakefield (AWAKE) experiment to consolidate its plans and prepare for its second run following the successful results from Run 1. We met with Giovanni Zevi Della Porta, the run coordinator, to discuss the lessons carried forward

AWAKE, an accelerator R&D experiment.
AWAKE, an accelerator R&D experiment. BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/awake-accelerator-rd-experiment) AWAKE is an accelerator R&D experiment. In the coming years the AWAKE experiment should pave the way to understanding the physics and potential of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration for future accelerators. Over the last fifty years, accelerators of ever increasing energy have
