Abstract
The relativistic motion of an electron in a homogeneous constant magne tic field and a transverse circularly polarized electric field is redu ced to a one-dimensional time-dependent integrable problem by using th e Hamiltonian formalism. The trajectories and the dynamics of the part icle are studied. A simple approximate expression for the maximum ener gy is given.
