Abstract
The resonant excitation of the nonlinear wakefield by a single proton bunch is investigated with the parameters characteristic of the AWAKE experiment. It is shown that obtained structure of the wakefield at a distance more than twenty periods behind the driver proton bunch can be suitable for the side injection and further acceleration of the witness electron bunch in the wakefield.
