A high accelerating gradient, with stable beam transport, is necessary for the next generation of particle accelerators. Dielectric wakefield accelerators are a potential solution to this problem. In these proceedings, we present simulation studies of electron bunches in the self-wake regime inside a planar dielectric structure. This is analogous to driving beams in a dielectric wakefield accelerator. The transverse and longitudinal wake fields are investigated for dielectric plate gaps, various transverse beam sizes, and longitudinal bunch profiles. The effects of these on the stability of drive bunches, and acceleration of a witness bunch, are discussed in the context of electron bunches that can be produced with conventional linac RF technology.
