The principle of laser wakefield particle acceleration was tested by a Nd:glass laser with a power of up to 10 TW and a pulse-duration of 1 ps. Electrons with 1 MeV/c momentum emitted from a solid target by an intense laser impact were used as test particles. The corresponding field gradient achieved was 1.7 GeV/m in the linear regime and 30 GeV/m in the nonlinear, self-modulation regime. The results are consistent with simulations. {copyright} 1995 {ital American Institute of Physics}.
