Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | Electrons can be accelerated at over 200MV/m in the plasma wakefield of a proton bunch. The anticipated accleration gradient in normal conducting cavities for Linaet collider applications is typically up to 100MV/m |
| Exploitation Route | More research is required to push acceleration gradients to multi-GeV/m. Bunch charge must be increase bu orders of magnitude before application is economically favourable. |
