| Summary: | <p>The Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE) at CERN investigates the plasma-wakefield acceleration of electrons driven by a relativistic proton bunch. After successfully demonstrating the acceleration process in Run 1, the experiment has now started Run 2. AWAKE Run 2 consists of several experimental periods that aim to demonstrate the feasibility of the AWAKE concept beyond the acceleration experiment, showing its feasibility as accelerator for particle physics applications. As part of these developments, a dramatic effort in improving the AWAKE instrumentation is sustained. This contribution reports on the current developments of the instrumentation pool upgrade, including the digital camera system for transverse beam profile measurement, the beam halo measurement and the spectrometer upgrade studies. Studies on the development of high-frequency beam position monitors are also described.</p>
