Abstract
Acceleration of a relativistic electron beam by the longitudinal field component of a focused laser or microwave beam is optimal when the la ser beam is radially polarized. The electron energy gain between focus ing optical lenses with an arbitrary optical mode cannot greatly excee d that available from a Gaussian beam of the same power. Off-axis tran sverse forces focus and recollimate appropriately phased off-axis elec trons over the acceleration length.
