Abstract
An algorithm for simulation of laser/particle interactions using normalized units related to different laser frequencies was studied. Correct and wrong conversion methods between different normalized units were investigated in simulations of vacuum laser acceleration. The dynamic characteristics obtained with different processing methods differ greatly and some good acceleration results are actually no other than errors stemming from incorrect treatments of the normalized units.
