SUMMARY:Accelerating Electrons with Protons in Plasma - the AWAKE Proj
 ect\, Physics Department Colloquium\,  Allen Caldwell\, Max Planck Ins
 titute\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:The construction of ever larger and costlier accelerator f
 acilities has its limits\, and new technologies will be needed to push
  the energy frontier. Plasma Wakefield acceleration is a rapidly devel
 oping field and is a promising candidate technology for future high-en
 ergy accelerators. The AWAKE project is pursuing an approach to accele
 rate an electron beam to the TeV energy regime in a single plasma sect
 ion. To verify this novel technique\, a proof-of-principle demonstrati
 on experiment  is being carried out using 400 GeV proton beams from th
 e Super Proton Synchrotron at CERN.  First results from the experiment
  will be presented\, as well as ideas on future applications of this t
 echnology.
