	Funding: Work funded in part by grant HDTRA1-09-1-0043 from the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency and under a grant from NNSA/NA-221 Office of Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development. The Micro-Accelerator Platform (MAP) is a slab-symmetric micron-scale electron accelerator. Electrons gain energy via a standing wave electromagnetic resonance powered by a side coupled Ti:Sapphire laser. In this paper, we will discuss simulations of resonance and particle dynamics in this structure. Three-dimensional simulations showing evidence of stable 1 GeV/m acceleration are detailed along with simulations studying defocusing and wakefield effects in the MAP. Additionally, optimization of the structure and the coupling of laser power into the cavity will be explored.

	Funding: Work funded in part by grant HDTRA1-09-1-0043 from the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency and under a grant from NNSA/NA-221 Office of Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development. TheμAccelerator Platform (MAP), a resonant dielectric structure for laser acceleration of electrons, has been in development for a number of years. It consists of a a vacuum gap between two slab-shaped reflecting boundaries, with a transmissive grating diffractive optic on one boundary that allows laser power to propagate into the gap and enforces an accelerating mode. We report on the progress of bench and beam tests carried out within the last year, and the challenges faced in diagnosing <pC beams from optical-scale structures. We also describe refinements to our fabrication techniques and lessons learned during the development of the fabrication process.
