Abstract :
This experiment seeks to demonstrate laser driven particle acceleration in a dielectric loaded vacuum structure. Evidence for particle acceleration will be inferred from the change in the observed energy spread of the electron bunch. Under optimum conditions we expect an increase by a factor bigger than 3. However, the energy profile as a function of several controllable beam parameters provides the most distinctive signature
