PPA09 - Proton-Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration

17 Dec 2009, 09:00 → 18 Dec 2009, 16:30 Europe/Zurich

CERN / 40-S2-D01

Allen Caldwell (MPI), Frank Zimmermann (AB/ABP), Ralph Assmann (CERN)

The goal of PPA09 meeting is to review the current status of the proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration study, to make a plan for future experimental study at CERN and to clarify the key issues like plasma sources, diagnostics equipment etc to be solved.
