Plasma wakefield accelerators can be driven by either a powerful laser pulse (LWFA) or a charged particle beam (PWFA). Here we present a novel plasma accelerator scheme which combines both schemes in a staged setup: The LWFA produces a high current beam electron beam which subsequently drives a PWFA where a new electron beam is produced and accelerated. This hybrid scenario explicitly makes use of several advantages unique to each method. Effectively, this LWFA-to-PWFA (LPWFA) staged setup operates as a beam brightness and energy booster of the initial LWFA output, aiming to match the demanding beam quality requirements of accelerator based light sources in a truly compact setup. We report on theoretical and numerical studies towards an experimental implementation at the DRACO laser facility at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden - Rossendorf (HZDR).
