  AWAKE, an Advanced Wakefield Experiment is launched at CERN to verify the proton driven plasma wakefield acceleration concept. Proton bunches at 400 GeV/c will be extracted from the CERN SPS and sent along a 750m long proton line to the plasma cell, a Rubidium vapour source, where the proton beam drives wakefields reaching accelerating gradients at the order of gigavolt per meter. A high power laser pulse will co-propagate within the proton bunch creating the plasma by ionizing the (initially) neutral gas. An electron beam will be injected into the plasma cell to probe the accelerating wakefield. The AWAKE experiment will be installed in the CNGS facility. First proton beam to the plasma cell is expected by end 2016. The design of the experimental area and the integration of the new beam-lines as well as the experimental equipment will be shown. The needed modifications of the infrastructure in the facility will be presented.

  The high-charge PHIN photoinjector has originally been developed to study the feasibility of a photoinjector option for the drive beam of the CLIC Test Facility 3 (CTF3) at CERN and is now being used to investigate the feasibility of a drive beam photoinjector for CLIC. In this paper recent R&D efforts to improve the parameters of the existing system towards CLIC requirements will be discussed. This includes studies of a feedback loop for intensity stabilization, the upgrade of the PHIN vacuum system and the planned upgrade of the driving laser system. For photocathode production and R&D a dedicated photoemission laboratory is available at CERN. To increase the production rate of photocathodes and the availability of the photoemission lab for other studies, an upgrade of the photocathode preparation system with a load-lock system is under study and will also be presented.
