abstract = {{Beam-driven plasma-wakefield acceleration (PWFA) is one of the most promising techniques to reduce significantly the size and cost of future lepton accelerators. Huge steps have been taken in the last decades towards achieving high acceleration gradients with simultaneous beam-quality preservation. However, in order to match both the luminosity demands of high-energy physics and the brilliance requirements of photon science, PWFA must be capable of accelerating thousands of bunches per second ’ orders of magnitude beyond the current state of the art. Historically, investigation of the rate limitation in plasmas was limited by the number of bunches available from the accelerator front-end. The FLASHForward facility, which is driven by the superconducting linac of the FLASH free-electron laser, is the first experiment capable of addressing this issue. We report here on first experimental results from the facility, aimed at determining the repetition rate limit of plasma accelerators arising from fundamental plasma processes* and finally advancing the repetition rate of PWFA from proof-of-principle experiments at a few bunches per second to a competitive plasma accelerator.}},
