Plasma wakefield accelerator is examined in the extreme regime of nanometer transverse beam sizes, typical of designs in the multi-TeV range. We find that ion motion, synchrotron radiation, nuclear scattering and particle trapping constrain the design parameters in which high beam quality and efficiency can be maintained. For a particular example relevant to an ILC Afterburner, the analysis suggests that an intermediate mass ion such as Argon may best satisfy the constraints.
