  In order to increase the measured phase of an atom interferometer and improve
its sensitivity, researchers attempt to increase the enclosed space-time area
using two methods: creating larger separations between the interferometer arms
and having longer evolution times. However, increasing the evolution time
reduces the bandwidth that can be sampled, whereas decreasing the evolution
time worsens the sensitivity. In this paper, we attempt to address this by
proposing a setup for high-bandwidth applications, with improved overall
sensitivity. This is realized by accelerating and holding the atoms using
optical dipole traps. We find that accelerations of up to $10^{3}$-$10^{5}$
m/s$^2$ can be achieved using acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) to move the
traps. By comparing the sensitivity of our approach to acceleration as a
baseline to traditional atom interferometry, we find a substantial improvement
to the state of the art. In the limit of appropriate beam and optics
stabilization, sensitivities approaching 10$^{-14}$ (m/s$^2$)/$\sqrt{\rm Hz}$
may be achievable at 1 Hz, while detection at 1 kHz with a sensitivity an order
of magnitude better than traditional free-fall atom interferometers is possible
with today's systems.
