	Funding: Research is supported by U.S. Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics Results of analytical and numerical investigations of a coaxial dielectric wakefield accelerator structure (CDWA) for experiments at FACET (SLAC) on two-beam acceleration are presented. For these experiments it is proposed to use ~1 THz structure with two nested silica cylindrical shells having these diameters: outer shell, OD = 2 mm, ID = 1 mm; inner shell OD = 360 mkm, ID = 100 mkm. A conventional CDWA structure is energized by an annular drive bunch travelling in the annular vacuum channel. At present, FACET has no drive bunch of annular shape which is required for a CDWA.

For the simulation we used the SLAC drive bunch parameters: energy is 23 GeV, charge is 3 nC, axial RMS size is 25 mkm, transverse RMS size is 10 mkm. This bunch sets up at the central channel axis an accelerating gradient of ~1 GeV/m. Questions of transverse stability of the solid drive and accelerated bunches in this dielectric accelerator structure are also discussed. G.V.Sotnikov, J.L. Hirshfield, T.C. Marshall, S.V.
