	The goal of the AWKAKE collaboration is the study of plasma wakefields driven by proton (p⁺) bunches through experiments, simulations and theory. Proton bunches are interesting wakefield drivers because they can be ultra-relativistic (TeVs/p⁺) and carry large amounts of energy (>kJ). It was demonstrated in simulations* that acceleration of an electron (e-) bunch from 10GeV to >500GeV can be achieved in ~500m of plasma driven by a 1TeV, 100micron-long, bunch with 10¹¹ p+. Such short p⁺ bunches do not exist today. It was suggested** that a p⁺ bunch long compared to the plasma period can transversely self-modulate and resonantly drive wakefields to large amplitudes (~GV/m). Initial experiments based on self-modulation instability (SMI) will use single 12cm-long CERN SPS bunches with 1-3·10¹¹, 450GeV p⁺ to study physics of SMI. With a plasma density of 7·10¹⁴/cc the plasma wave and modulation period is 1.3mm. The SMI saturates after ~3m with amplitude in the GV/m range. Later a low energy (~10MeV) witness e^- bunch will be injected at the SMI saturation point. Energy gain over ~7m of plasma can reach the GeV level. Translation from physics to experimental plan and setup will be presented. * A. Caldwell et al., Nature Physics 5, 363 (2009) ** N. Kumar et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 255003 (2010)

The goal of the AWKAKE collaboration is the study of plasma wakefields driven by proton (p⁺) bunches through experiments, simulations and theory.
