Here we present imaging of plasma wakefields driven by both, high intensity laser pulses or high peak current electron beams. In particular, a scheme of high-current electron beams from a LWFA as drivers of a beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA) is being extensively studied, aiming to fulfill the demanding quality requirements for applications such as FELs. Observing plasma wakefields in this regime demonstrates the capability of the LWFA beam to create the plasma as well as drive plasma wakefields. Additionally we observed a correlation between the drive beam charge and the shape of the plasma wave. This enables us to find an optimum parameter set towards the experimental demonstration of the hybrid LPWFA.
