Electron scattering and acceleration by a tightly focused laser beam
By numerically solving the relativistic equations of motion of a single electron in laser fields modeled by those of a Gaussian beam, we demonstrate electron capture by, reflection from, and transmission through the beam. In modeling the fields, terms of order up to ϵ^{5}, where ϵ is the diffraction...
