Abstract
We study the plasma fiber accelerator concept by simulation and theory. An outgrowth of the laser beat-wave accelerator concept, the plasma fiber accelerator, sets the phase velocity of the beat plasma wave at the speed of light (or any value desired) by allowing each laser light to have a specific transverse wavenumber (or structure). Two-dimensional slab duct structures with laser beams of both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarizations are explored. Accelerated beam dynamics in fiber beat-wave is discussed.
