The method involves injecting a proton beam into a plasma, i.e. an ionized gas. En route, the protons entrain negatively charged plasma electrons and thus generate a kind of bow wave. If a beam of electrons is injected at a suitable point in time, they are carried along by the wave – just like a surfer riding a wave.</p> <p>The research seeks to reduce the distance that is required to accelerate particles. The technique is particularly suitable for linear accelerators – and is a lower-cost alternative to the concepts proposed for the International Linear Collider (ILC) or the CERN Compact Linear Collider (CLIC).</p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="c13283" class="frame frame-default frame-type-image frame-layout-0"> <a id="c13284"></a> <div class="ce-image ce-center ce-above"> <div class="ce-gallery" data-ce-columns="1" data-ce-images="1"> <div class="ce-outer"> <div class="ce-inner"> <div class="ce-row"> <div class="ce-column"> <figure class="image"> <img class="image-embed-item" title="The 10-meter long plasma cell of the AWAKE experiment at CERN" alt="The 10-meter long plasma cell of the AWAKE experiment at CERN" src="/fileadmin/_processed_/e/8/csm_AWAKE_CERN_069b292296.jpg" width="850" height="490" /> <figcaption class="image-caption"> The 10-meter long plasma cell of the AWAKE experiment at CERN (photo: Maximilien Brice/CERN) </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="c2592" class="frame frame-default frame-type-textpic frame-layout-0"> <a id="c4330"></a> <header> <h2 class=""> Current research </h2> </header> <div class="ce-textpic ce-left ce-intext"> <div class="ce-bodytext"> <p>The MPP is currently collaborating with international partners to set up the <a href="http://home.cern/about/experiments/awake" target="_blank" class="external-link-new-window" title="Öffnet internen Link im aktuellen Fenster" rel="noreferrer">AWAKE experiment at CERN</a> in order to achieve this objective. The Group is investigating methods that will allow the energy of the proton sources currently available – the LHC, for example – to be used for AWAKE. The aim is for the proton beam to generate charged waves in a plasma over a distance of 10 to 1,000 meters. This will allow electron beams to be accelerated up to the teraelectronvolt energy range (TeV, one million gigaelectronvolts). </p> <p>A plasma accelerator would then need only 85 centimeters to accelerate electrons to an energy of 50 gigaelectronvolts.
