Abstract

The acceleration of electrons by using a Bessel-Gaussian (BG) beam in vacuum is studied. It is shown that the axial electric field of a linearly or circularly polarized BG beam of order n = 1 can be used to accelerate electrons. The general features of the acceleration of electrons by using a linearly or circularly polarized BG beam, such as the transversal and axial electric-field components, phase velocity, slippage distance, accelerating potential, and energy gain etc., are analyzed.
