Learn more – Experts The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) aims at studying plasma wakefield generation and electron acceleration driven by proton bunches. It is a proof-of-principle R&D experiment at CERN and the world’s first proton driven plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. The AWAKE experiment will be installed in the former CNGS facility

Learn more – General Public What is plasma wakefield acceleration? How do you accelerate particles? And why do you want to? AWAKE accelerates electrons using plasma wakefield acceleration, because this new method of acceleration allows for accelerators that are easily hundred times smaller than machines with conventional acceleration methods. Smaller accelerators are less costly and
