Abstract :
The acceleration of protons, helium ions and gold ions by high phase velocity, longitudinal, electrostatic waves is studied. A one-dimensional, single-particle model is used to determine the minimum energy needed for trapping by the waves, and the maximum energy to which these particles can be accelerated in the waves. Comparisons are made between the limits of ion and electron acceleration
