A reduced Hamiltonian model of an electron beams in a laser-plasma accelerator is derived. We represent the beam by a small number of parameters that become the dynamical variables in the model. We illustrate the general technique deriving reduced models and discuss applications of this method to spatially asymmetric beams.
