Scientific paper

It is shown by theory and by computer simulation that space-charge waves driven by resonantly beating two laser beams in a high-density plasma can produce ultrahigh electric fields that propagate with velocities close to c. By phase-locking particles in such a wave, particles may be accelerated to very high energies within a very short distance. Problems associated with phase-stabilization are discussed, as are the laser and plasma requirements of the technique. Prospects for achieving ultrahigh energies in a new generation of particle accelerators using the technique are briefly addressed.
