Abstract: New acceleration technology is mandatory for the future elucidation of fundamental particles and theirinteractions. A promising approach is to exploit the properties of plasmas. Past research has focused oncreating large-amplitude plasma waves by injecting an intense laser pulse or an electron bunch into theplasma. However, the maximum energy gain of electrons accelerated in a single plasma stage is limitedby the energy of the driver. Proton bunches are the most promising drivers of wakefields to accelerateelectrons to the TeV energy scale in a single stage. An experimental program at CERN—the AWAKEexperiment—has been launched to study in detail the important physical processes and to demonstrate the power of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration. Here we review the physical principles andsome experimental considerations for a future proton-driven plasma wakefield accelerator.
