The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study aims at a realistic design of a multi-TeV e+e− linear collider for the post-LHC era of high-energy physics, with the potential to operate at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 380 GeV up to 3 TeV and with luminosities of a few 10^34 cm-2 s-1. It is based on a novel two-beam acceleration scheme and on the use of high-gradient, high-frequency ...
The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) is a proof-of-principle R&D experiment at CERN which uses the first time ever protons to drive the plasmas wakefield. AWAKE aims to accelerate 10-20 MeV electrons to approximately 1 GeV in 10 m of plasma by using plasma wakefields created by a self-modulated 400 GeV/c proton bunch. This talk emphasises on the technical...
