Abstract
The longitudinal electric field of single and double Gaussian laser be ams are used to accelerate electrons. The longitudinal field of the si ngle beam is concentrated on the axis and is favourable for accelerati on. A set of two beams is considered. Beams run parallel, collinearly, overlap partially and have a phase difference in in between. As a res ult, the transverse components of fields cancel each other while the l ongitudinal components are double-fold. In both schemes, the electrons are accelerated in lengths of the Rayleigh range, which is common to the plasma-based accelerators. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ ts reserved.
