A dielectric, slab-symmetric structure for generating and accelerating low-energy electrons has been under study for the past two years. The resonant device is driven by a side-coupled laser and is configured to maintain field provide necessary for synchronous acceleration and focusing of nonrelativistic particles. Intended applications of the structure include the production of radiation for medical treatments, imaging, and industrial uses. The details of the structure geometry and its resonant properties have been studied with 2D and 3D electromagnetic codes, the results of which are present here.
