            Abstract : 
We propose to test for the possibility of accelerating an electron beam (utilizing the existing high-power CO2 laser and low emittance electron beam at Brookhaven Accelerator Test Facility) in vacuum to the current CO2 laser power limit. The latest vacuum laser acceleration results can be verified by the schemes discussed here
