Synopsis

This book deals with the theory of critical effects in semiclassical scattering, in which the standard approximations break down. Such critical effects are responsible for phenomena such as rainbows and glories.

Review

'Nicely written and well organized, the book may be useful to research workers in these areas ... The material is also accessible to graduate students ... I hope that the relatively low price will help to distribute this work into many physical libraries.' Optik

Book Description

Critical effects in semiclassical scattering, in which the standard approximations break down, are associated with forward peaking, rainbows, glories, orbiting and resonances. Besides giving rise to beautiful optical effects in the atmosphere, critical effects have important applications in many areas of physics.
