Description

The prospects for particle-physics experiments based on an AWAKE-like electron acceleration scheme will be reviewed. These include high energy electron test beams, searches for very weakly interacting particles in fixed target experiments as well as electron-proton and electron-ion colliders covering a wide range of energies up to a very high energy electron-proton (VHEeP) collider with nominal centre-of-mass energy of 9 TeV, a factor of 30 higher than HERA. First estimates of achievable beam energy, repetition rates and luminosities will be presented. The physics prospects allowed by these parameters will then be discussed.
