Plasma-based acceleration has already proved the ability to reach ultra-high accelerating gradients. However
the step towards the realization of a plasma-based accelerator still requires some e
ff ort to guarantee high brightness beams, stability and reliability. A significant improvement in the efficiency of PWFA has been
demonstrated so far accelerating a witness bunch in the wake of a higher charge driver bunch. The transformer
ratio, therefore the energy transfer from the driver to the witness beam, can be increased by resonantly exciting
the plasma with a properly pre-shaped drive electron beam. Theoretical and experimental studies of beam
manipulation for resonant PWFA will be presented here
