Proof-of-principle experiment for laser-driven acceleration of relativistic electrons in a semi-infinite vacuum. Plettner, T., Byer, R. L., Colby, E., Cowan, B., Sears, C. M.<nbsp>S., Spencer, J. E., & Siemann, R. H. Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams, 8(12):121301, December, 2005. Paper doi abstract bibtex We recently achieved the first experimental observation of laser-driven particle acceleration of relativistic electrons from a single Gaussian near-infrared laser beam in a semi-infinite vacuum. This article presents an in-depth account of key aspects of the experiment. An analysis of the transverse and longitudinal forces acting on the electron beam is included. A comparison of the observed data to the acceleration viewed as an inverse transition radiation process is presented. This is followed by a detailed description of the components of the experiment and a discussion of future measurements.
