Introduction
A prime number is a natural number which only has the two divisors 1 and itself. The first are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.
An AP-k is any case of k primes in arithmetic progression, i.e. of the form p + d • n for some d (the difference between the primes) and k consecutive values of n.
Example: 41 + 6n for n = 0, 1, 2, 3 gives the AP-4 41, 47, 53, 59. See Primes in Arithmetic Progression Records for the largest and smallest AP-k.

A CPAP-k is an AP-k where the k primes are consecutive, i.e. there are no other primes between them. (CPAP can mean many other things outsidemathematics).
The AP-4 41, 47, 53, 59 is not a CPAP-4 because 43 is also prime. But 47, 53, 59 is a CPAP-3. This page is only about CPAP-k.

A CPAP-k search often has two parts: Find an AP-k and then test whether the k primes are consecutive. If the difference between the primes is small then it is sometimes possible to make sure in advance that all intermediate numbers will be composite.

k# (called k primorial) is the product of all primes ≤ k, e.g. 10# = 2 • 3 • 5 • 7 = 210. 2# = 2, 3# = 6, 5# = 30, 7# = 210, 11# = 2310
The prime difference in an AP-k (and thus a CPAP-k) must be a multiple of k# to avoid factors ≤ k, assuming the primes in the AP-k are above k.
Avoiding intermediate primes in a CPAP-k becomes harder when the prime difference is big, so many searches only try for difference k#.
A CPAP-6 has minimal difference 6# = 30 which is low in this context. CPAP-7 to -10 all have minimal difference 10# = 7# = 210 which makes it harder.
However it is possible to make a guarantee against intermediate primes in a CPAP-7 larger than around 190 digits. x177 has been used for this.

A CPAP-11 would have minimal difference 11# = 2310. This seems extremely hard to find and nobody has even tried as far as I know.
With current methods it may take trillions of cpu GHz years according to the people who found the first known CPAP-10.

It seems likely that there are infinitely many CPAP-k with prime difference c • k#, for all c and k. You will be famous (among mathematicians anyway) by proving this, because the proof would probably cover lots of other cases, e.g. the k-tuple conjecture. k=2 and c=1 gives the twin prime conjecture, enough for fame.
Ben Green & Terence Tao presented a proof in 2004 that The primes contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions, but their result is not about consecutive primes.

Submissions
I would like to hear of all CPAP's which make one of the record tables. Please mail any you find or know about. Say who should get credit and how the primes were proved. The tables are not for numbers which are only prp's (probable primes). I have software to prove prp's up to a few thousand digits. You can submit CPAP's consisting of prp's but I want shared credit for performing proofs above 2000 digits.
If a CPAP was found with an expression involving a small or big constant then please give the expression and constant, not just a decimal expansion of the primes.

A link on the year of a record is to an announcement of that record.
A link on "Primo" was to Primo certificates of primality until 23 January 2009 where the website moved. Most of the certificates are currently offline. They are available by email request.

Credited programs
The primality proving program is only credited above 300 digits.
CP09 was a program/project by Harvey Dubner, Tony Forbes, Nik Lygeros, Michel Mizony and Paul Zimmermann.
CP10 was by the same people as CP09.
