Abstract

Six integrals of motion of a relativistic charge in the field of a transverse circularly polarized electromagnetic wave propagating with a phase velocity u > c are obtained from the solution of the Hamilton equations. These integrals form the basis of analysis of the trajectory of the charge depending on the phase of the wave in a stationary system of coordinates. The coordinates and phase are connected via elliptic functions.
