Hi everybody,
I'm reading P. Gibbon book "Short Pulse Laser Interaction with Matters", and I'm having a problem.
Describing the ejection of an electron from a focused laser beam the book says, on pag 39, that "the kinetic energy of the electron is given by:
[itex]\Delta[/itex]U=([itex]\gamma[/itex]-1)mc[itex]^{2}[/itex]
This energy is extracted from electromagnetic field via multiphoton momentum transfer."
I would like to know the demostration of that formula, since no clue is given in the book.
Thanks for helping
