Abstract The Advanced Wakefield (AWAKE) Run 1 experiment, which concluded in 2018, achieved electron acceleration to 2 GeV via plasma wakefield acceleration driven by 400 GeV, self-modulated proton bunches extracted from the CERN SPS. The Run 2c phase of the experiment aims to advance these results by demonstrating acceleration up to about 10 GeV while preserving the quality of the accelerated electron beam. For Run 2c, the Run 1 proton transfer line will be reconfigured to shift the first plasma cell 40 m longitudinally and a second plasma cell will be added 1 m downstream of the first. In addition, a new 150 MeV beamline will be required to inject a witness electron beam, with a beam size of several microns, into the second plasma cell to probe the accelerating fields. Proposed adjustments to the proton transfer line and the design of the 150 MeV electron transfer line are detailed in this paper.
