A major component of particle accelerators like the LHC are the actual accelerators; the current approach relies on radio frequency cavities. However, their acceleration gradient, measured in Volts per meter, is limited. This means that future accelerators, especially linear ones, will become longer and longer to reach the desired energies. A new approach to particle acceleration relies on plasma wakefields, this technology can deliver orders of magnitude more acceleration per distance. AWAKE is a proof of concept experiment at CERN that uses proton beams to produce the wake field. In this episode we chat with Edda Gschwendtner, the leader of this project.

As an engineer, as always barely grasp the real content. As always with OT, this discussion provided intriguing and entertaining glimpse of the field with its divers and imaginative future options. Simple but not simplistic wave analogy helped, as did interviewers questions providing timely refresher prompts on nature of plasma etc. Even if not part of the national syllabus, inspiring.
