Shevelko V., Tawara H. (Eds.) Atomic Processes in Basic and Applied Physics

Springer, 2012. — 498 p. — (Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics 68). — ISBN: 978-3-642-25569-4, 978-3-642-44210-0, 978-3-642-25568-7.The book is a comprehensive edition which considers the interactions of atoms, ions and molecules with charged particles, photons and laser fields and reflects the present understanding of atomic processes such as electron capture, target and projectile ionisation, photoabsorption and others occurring in most of laboratory and astrophysical plasma sources including many-photon and many-electron processes. The material consists of selected papers written by leading scientists in various fields.Contents
