Synopsis

The authors aim to hone the theory of electron-atom and electron-ion collisions by developing mathematical equations and comparing their results to the wealth of recent experimental data. This first of three parts focuses on potential scattering, and will serve as an introduction to many of the concepts covered in Parts II and III. As these processes occur in so many of the physical sciences, researchers in astrophysics, atmospheric physics, plasma physics, and laser physics will all benefit from the monograph.

About this title

Synopsis

A monograph that develops the theory of electron-atom and electron-ion collisions and illustrates the various theoretical approaches by comparing their results with experimental data. Part I treats potential scattering, which serves as an introduction to many of the basic concepts which will be required in Parts II and III. Four chapters address ge
