AWAKE-UK collaboration member Professor Peter Norreys from the University of Oxford, has been awarded the Société Française de Physique and Institute of Physics Holweck Prize in recognition of his outstanding contributions to fundamental studies of high energy density plasmas using high power petawatt-class lasers, including fast ignition inertial fusion, particle acceleration and ultra-bright X-ray sources. The Holweck Prize is awarded annually, and alternates between a Fren

The Advanced proton-driven plasma Wakefield acceleration experiment (AWAKE) project held its 2025 collaboration meeting at CERN from 15th to 17th October. The three-day event was organized into sub-sessions covering different aspects of Run 2b, experimental results, simulation updates related to the upcoming Run 2c, and discussions about future plans. This was complemented by status and summary reports from the Collaboration Board and publication committee. Participants of th
