description | The AWAKE Run 2 experiment, starting in 2021 at CERN, aims to achieve high-charge bunches of electrons accelerated to high energy (~10 GeV) while maintaining beam quality. AWAKE Run 2 also aims to show that the process is scalable so that, by the end of the run, the AWAKE-scheme technology could be used for first particle physics applications. The first two phases of Run 2 include the investigation of the seeding of the proton bunch self-modulation with the current electron beam in the existing AWAKE facility and the test of a second new plasma source with a density step allowing to maintain strong accelerating fields. In the third phase of Run 2, electrons with an energy of 150 MeV, produced in a newly installed electron source, will be injected into a second plasma source and accelerated to high energies (several GeVs) while keeping good emittance. In the fourth phase, it is planned to replace the second plasma source with a scalable one, which eventually could be used for long-distance acceleration and first applications. In this paper, we present the program of the four phases of AWAKE Run 2, the technical challenges and the proposed schedule. |
