abstract = {In this paper the energy gain of attosecond electron
bunches emitted during the interaction of intense, few-cycle
linearly polarized lasers with nanoscale spherical clusters
is determined. In this case electron bunches are emitted
from the rear side of the cluster and are then further
accelerated while co-propagating with the laser. A previous
study has shown how this two-stage process readily occurs
for clusters whose radii lie between the relativistic skin
depth, δr = γ1/2c/ωp, and the laser spot size σL (Di
Lucchio $\&$ Gibbon, Phys. Rev. STAB 18, 2015). An
analytical model for focused light waves interacting with
compact, overdense electron bunches in vacuum is derived
heuristically from world-line equations of motion of an
electron. The functional integral approach is followed under
the mathematical point of view of integration with respect
to a stochastic variable. The resulting picture of the laser
wave crossing the electron's trajectory leads to a finite
energy gain of the electron in light–matter interaction in
vacuum. The analytical theory is compared with
three-dimensional PIC simulations from which trajectories of
the electron bunches can be extracted. The effective
increase in bunch energy is determined under realistic
conditions both for the peak (mode) and the cutoff energy of
the emitted bunch, in order to make quantitative comparisons
with theory and the experimental findings of Cardenas et al
