We present a theoretical microscopic model for the calculation of the nonequilibrium distribution function of electrons in a metal excited by ultrashort laser pulses of moderate intensity. This model is based on a kinetic differential equation of the nonequilibrium population of excited electrons. It includes the transport phenomena that may be important at initial stages of the excitation. Our theoretical results compare favorably with the experimental measurements of Fann et al. [Phys. Rev. B 46, 13 592 (1992)] obtained for a gold film.
