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 | First demonstration of plasma modulation driven by high energy proton beam achieved at CERN. |
| Exploitation Route | This will form the basis of further studies at CERN and inform in particular optimum electron beam injection. |
| Sectors | Education |
| Description | We have been communicating the vision and goals of the AWAKE experiment to a wider audience via accelerator experience workshops, Marie Curie and Physics of Star Wars days, as well as through other local outreach events. |
