Abstract
There has been a proposal by Caldwell et al to use proton beams as drivers for high energy linear colliders. An experimental test with CERN's proton beams is being studied. Such a test requires a transfer line for transporting the beam to the experiment, a focusing section for beam delivery into the plasma, the plasma cell and a downstream diagnostics and dump section. The work done at CERN towards the conceptual layout and design of such a test area is presented. A possible development of such a test area into a CERN test facility for high-gradient acceleration experiments is discussed. Copyright © 2011 by IPAC'11/EPS-AG.
