N2 - In the physics plan for AWAKE Run 2, two known effects, beam loading the longitudinal wakefield and beam matching to the pure plasma ion channel, will be implemented for the better control of electron acceleration. It is founded in our study of beam matching that the transverse profile of the initial witness beam have a significant impact on its acceleration quality. In this paper, particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are used to study factors that affect the acceleration quality of electron beams with different transverse profiles.
