This book provides an overview of the recent experimental and theoretical results on interactions of heavy ions with gaseous, solid and plasma targets from the perspective of atomic physics. The topics discussed comprise stopping power, multiple-electron loss and capture processes, equilibrium and non-equilibrium charge-state fractions in penetration of fast ion beams through matter including relativistic domain. It also addresses mean charge-states and equilibrium target thickness in ion-beam penetrations, isotope effects in low-energy electron capture, lifetimes of heavy ion beams, semi-empirical formulae for effective cross sections. The book is intended for researchers and graduate students working in atomic, plasma and accelerator physics.

Makoto Imai graduated from Kyoto University, Japan in 1987. He was a research scientist at the Atomic and Molecular Physics Laboratory, Atomic Energy Research Institute in Japan from 1989 to 1994 and since 1994 has worked at the Department of Nuclear Engineering, Kyoto University, where he has been an assistant professor since April 1996. He is a member of The Physical Society of Japan, The Japan Society of Plasma Science and Nuclear Fusion Research and The Atomic Collison Society of Japan. He served as an executive board member of The Atomic Collision Society of Japan from 2010 to 2012 and as an editorial board member of the Japan Society of Plasma Science from 2012 to 2014. He co-authored 49 scientific papers in international scientific journals and 1 book from Springer.

Nicolas Winckler received his PhD degree from Justus-Liebig-Universitat, Giessen, Germany in 2009. He then moved to the Max-Planck-Institut f�r Kernphysik, Heidelberg to fulfill a Postdoctoral position. From November 2013 to October 2016 had a shared position at the atomic physics and scientific computing divisions at GSI Helmholtzzentrum f�r Schwerionenforschung, Darmstadt.

He is co-author of 78 publications in scientific journals. His main contributions focused on astrophysics, nuclear and atomic physics as well as in scientific computing. Since October 2016 he works as a senior data scientist in QuanoX, a Luxembourg IT company specialized in predictive analysis.

Viacheslav Shevelko graduated from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and since then works in the theoretical group of the Optical Division at the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) in Moscow. He received his PhD and doctorate degrees in 1973 and 1999, respectively. Since 1999 he is a Leading Scientist at Lebedev Physical Institute, and since 2012 until 2017 is a Head of the theoretical group of the Optical Division.

From 1993 to 1996 he was a member of the Editorial board of the Physica Scripta Journal and from 1994 to 1999 an IAEA expert, involved in the evaluation of the atomic data basis of electron-ion and ion-atom collisions. He is a member of the International Conference on Atomic and Molecular Data and Their Applications (ICAMDATA) since 2006. He is a member of the SPARC (Stored Particle Atomic Physics Research Collaboration), International Collaboration, GSI, Darmstadt, and of NUSTAR (Nuclear Structure, Astrophysics and Reactions) at GSI, Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), Darmstadt.
