Dielectric laser acceleration of electrons has been demonstrated recently with the potential to miniaturize accelerators. Here, we present results of the numerical investigation of a silicon colonnade structure that consists of two rows of pillars for the acceleration of nonrelativistic electrons. The dual-sided structure is expected to produce a maximum ratio of 0.52 between the acceleration gradient and the incident electric field for 50 keV electrons.
