About this Item

Hardcover. Revolutionary advances in experimental techniques and spectacular increases in computer power over recent years have enabled researchers to develop a much more profound understanding of the atomic few-body problem. One area of intense focus has been the study of fragmentation processes. Covering the latest research in the field, this edited text is the first to provide a focussed and systematic treatment of fragmentation processes, bringing together contributions from a range of leading experts. As well as tackling the more established electron-impact ionization processes, (e,2e), this book also guides the reader through topics such as molecular fragmentation, ion-atom collisions and multi-photon processes. Combining a broad range of topics with an equal mix of theoretical and experimental discussion, this is an invaluable text for graduate students and researchers in atomic collisions, laser physics and chemistry. Bringing together contributions from a range of leading experts, this is the first systematic treatment of fragmentation processes. Covering the latest research in the field, this edited volume guides the reader through the more established electron-impact ionization processes, (e,2e), as well as molecular fragmentation, ion-atom collisions and multi-photon processes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
