Description
The AWAKE experiment at CERN is a proof-of-principle facility that uses proton-driven plasma wakefields to accelerate externally injected electrons. Since initial operations in 2016, multiple experimental phases have been completed, with the most recent being Run 2b. Beam diagnostics played a crucial role during this phase, enabling reliable operation and characterisation of the particle beams. The next phase, Run 2c, planned to begin in 2029, will introduce a second electron beamline delivering 150 MeV, 200 fs (RMS)-long electron bunches together with a second plasma. The increased experimental scale and the new measurement requirements impose new demands on beam instrumentation, requiring upgrades to existing systems and the development of new, specialised diagnostics. This contribution presents a non-exhaustive overview of the diagnostic systems used during Run 2b, describes the planned upgrades and developments for Run 2c, and discusses the associated integration challenges.
