Abstract: We investigate the Waring-Goldbach problem of representing a positive integer $n$ as the sum of $s$ $k$th powers of almost equal prime numbers. Define $s_k=2k(k-1)$ when $kge3$, and put $s_2=6$. In addition, put $het{a}_2=frac1924$, $het{a}_3=frac45$ and $het{a}_k=frac56$ $(kge4)$. Suppose that $n$ satisfies the necessary congruence conditions, and put $X=(n/s{)}^{1/k}$. We show that whenever $s>s_k$ and $varepsilon>0$, and $n$ is sufficiently large, then $n$ is represented as the sum of $s$ $k$th powers of prime numbers $p$ with $|p-X|le{X}^{het{a}_k+varepsilon}$. This conclusion is based on a new estimate of Weyl-type specific to exponential sums having variables constrained to short intervals.
