In the present paper the results from theoretical and experimental studies as well as from 2.5-D numerical simulation of both the plasma WF excitation by either REB or LP and the CPWF acceleration are discussed. The results of these investigations make it possible to evaluate the potentialities of the WF acceleration method and to analyse whether it can serve as basis for creating a new generation of devices capable of accelerating CP at substantially higher (by two to three orders of magnitude) rates in comparison with those achievable in classical linear high-frequency (resonant) accelerators.
