Plasma wakefield accelerators (PWFA) have recently shown substantial progress, attaining accelerating fields of more than 30 GV/m. The goal of the present experiment is to show that such accelerating fields can be sustained over the scale of a meter, resulting in a total energy gain comparable to the entire SLAC linear accelerator. We also seek to determine which factors limit the length of the interaction and determine the maximum achievable energy.
