Abstract
An analysis is performed to determine the energy exchange between light and free electrons when the interaction length is limited. Restricting the length introduces a momentum uncertainty which can be sufficient to allow energy transfer in vacuum if the particles are relativistic and the angle between the direction of particle motion and light wave vector is small.Keywords
