Abstract

The wakefield acceleration driven by a single laser pulse in a narrow plasma-filled solid waveguide is considered. Parameters of the waveguide which provide the maximum energy gain of accelerated particles at a given length and peak power of the driver are found in the approximation of a relativistically weak driver. The obtained formulas are illustrated by calculating the electron energy gain achievable with the terawatt laser of Utsunomiya University.
