Popis:	We present an experiment for demonstrating the principle of plasma beat-wave acceleration. The beating of two Nd-laser pulses creates a relativistic plasma wave in a deuterium plasma. Electrons at an energy of 3 MeV are injected into the plasma. We observe several hundred electrons accelerated up to 3.7 MeV. This paper is mainly devoted to the description of the experimental apparatus. In the design of the apparatus, we gave particular attention to efficient electron injection and to background noise suppression. We present also some preliminary results of electron acceleration experiments.
