Design and operation of transfer lines for plasma wakefield accelerators using numerical optimizers
The Advanced Wakefield (AWAKE) Experiment is a proof-of-principle experiment demonstrating the acceleration of electron beams via proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration.AWAKE Run 2 aims to build on the results of Run 1 by achieving higher energies with an improved beam quality.As part of the upgrade to Run 2, the existing proton and electron b
