提出了一种质子驱动等离子体韦克菲尔德加速实验，作为在单个等离子体段中最终将电子束加速到TeV能量范围的方法。为了验证这一新技术，CERN计划使用SPS的400 GeV质子束进行原理性研发实验AWAKE。电子束将被注入等离子体室以探测加速的韦克菲尔德场。AWAKE实验将安装在CNGS设施中，利用现有的基础设施，仅需进行微小的修改。示出了实验区的设计以及质子和电子束线。已测量并介绍了可实现的SPS质子束团特性及其可重复性。
A Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment has been proposed as an approach to eventually accelerate an electron beam to the TeV energy range in a single plasma section. To verify this novel technique, a proof of principle R&D experiment, AWAKE, is planned at CERN using 400 GeV proton bunches from the SPS. An electron beam will be injected into the plasma cell to probe the accelerating wakefield. The AWAKE experiment will be installed in the CNGS facility profiting from existing infrastructure where only minor modifications need to be foreseen. The design of the experimental area and the proton and electron beam lines are shown. The achievable SPS proton bunch properties and their reproducibility have been measured and are presented.
