THz radiation is one of the most appealing portion of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of multi-disciplinary use in basic science and technology. Beyond the numerous applications, a great interest is its potential for future, compact linear accelerators. Conventional radio-frequency accelerating structures operating at the S and C band can reach gradients up to 30 - 50MV/m, respectively; higher accelerating gradients, of the order of 100MV/m, have been obtained with X-band cavities. THz-based accelerating structures enable operation at even higher gradient, potentially up to the GV/m scale, holding great potential for their application to free-electron lasers and linear colliders, for instance. Here we present electromagnetic and beam dynamics studies about the use of a dielectric loaded waveguide to accelerate electron bunches by mean of a narrow-band multi-cycle THz pulse. The excitation of the accelerating structure by the THz pulse and the bunch acceleration in the excited field are investigated through CST Microwave Studio and GPT simulations.
