    "abstract": "The energy and momentum densities of the fields of a free electron in a plane\nelectromagnetic wave include interference terms that are the classical version\nof the ``dressing\u0027\u0027 of the electron the arises in a quantum analysis. The\ntransverse mechanical momentum of the oscillating electron is balanced by the\nfield momentum resulting from the interference between the driving wave and the\nstatic part of the electron\u0027s field. The interference between the wave and the\noscillating part of the electron\u0027s field leads to a longitudinal field momentum\nand a negative field energy that compensate for the longitudinal momentum and\nkinetic energy of the electron. The interference terms are dominated by the\nnear zone, so that as the wave passes the electron by the latter reverts to its\nenergy and momentum prior to the arrival of the wave.",
