A slab-symmetric, partially dielectric filled, laser excited structure which may be used to accelerate charged particles is analyzed theoretically and computationally. The fields associated with the accelerating mode are calculated, as are aspects of the resonant filling and impedance matching of the structure to the exciting laser. It is shown through computer simulation that the accelerating mode in this structure can be excited resonantly and with large quality factor {ital Q}. Practical aspects of implementing this structure as an accelerator are discussed. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
