We describe a novel acceleration structure for acceleration of electron and ion beams where the cell-to-cell coupling is provided by slot resonances in the wall of adjacent accelerator cells. As with the side-coupled linac, the concept allows for the operation of a standing-wave structure in a phase and amplitude stabilized pi/2 mode. We explore the applications of such a structure to electron and ion accelerators.
