Abstract
The acceleration of trapped electrons in the relativistic plasma waves (wake fields) produced by specially shaped charged-particle beams is described by physical, analytic, and two-dimensional simulation models. The effects of competing instabilities, imperfect bunch shapes, transverse dynamics, and dephasing of trapped particles are considered.Keywords
