Abstract
We obtain an approximate solution for the drift and oscillatory components of the motion of relativistic electrons in the field of temporally extended high-power laser light under strong focusing of the light (the size of the focal region is of the order of the light wavelength). This makes it possible to start numerically integrating the equations of electron motion near the focal region. We estimate the impact parameters of the electrons when they are still efficiently accelerated in the focal region.
