Abstract

Analytic expression have been derived for the energy and momentum of a charged particle accelerated in vacuum by radiation pulses with linear polarization (plane-wave approximation). It is shown that these quantities are completely determined by the electrical area of pulses, viz., the integral of the electric field strength with respect to time.
