This proceedings volume contains the invited talks presented at two atomic physics symposia held jointly in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 28-30 July 2005. All papers were peer-reviewed. They represent the latest research in dynamics of collision systems involving collisions between photons, electrons, and ions and a diverse range of target species: atoms, molecules, clusters, and surfaces. There is a particular emphasis on correlation and many-body effects in excitation and ionization.
"The book provides a concise description of the density matrix and statistical tensor formalism and presents a general approach to the description of angular correlation and polarization phenomena. It illustrate an application of the angular momentum technique to a broad variety of atomic processes.".
This book covers a broad range of currently hot topics in atomic physics. Rapid progress both in experimental and theoretical techniques lead to continuously growing insight into topics like many-body and electron-electron correlation effects in excitation and charge transfer processes. Furthermore, established techniques originally developed to study atomic collisions have been refined to a point where they are now being applied to chemical, solid state and even biological systems, thus providing links to other scientific areas.
This research level volume explores (e,2e) reactions. It presents a review of theoretical and experimental research and discusses the developments in this field. It is the proceedings of a satellite meeting of the major international conference on the physics of electronic and atomic collisions: XVII ICPEAC, Brisbane, 10-16 July 1991. A valuable reference volume for researchers and libraries in the area of atomic and molecular physics. This volume explores recent and experimental progress in our understanding of (e,2e) reactions. A valuable reference for atomic and molecular physicists.
H. KLEINPOPPEN AND J. F. WILLIAMS It has only very recently become possible to study angular correlations and coherence effects in different areas of atomic collision processes: These investigations have provided us with an analysis of experimental data in terms of scattering amplitudes and their phases, of target parameters such as orientation, alignment, and state multipoles, and also of coherence parameters (e. g. , the degree of coherence of excita tion). In this way the analysis of electron-photon, ion-photon, atom-photon, or electron-ion coincidences from electron-atom, ion-atom, or atom-atom collisional excitation has led to a breakthrough such that the above quantities represent most crucial and sensitive tests for theories of atomic collision processes. Similarly, the powerful (e, 2e) experiments (electron-electron coincidences from impact ionization of atoms) have attracted much attention where improved experimental studies and detailed theoretical description provide a wealth of information on either the col lisional ionization process or the atomic structure of the target atom. Interference effects, many-electron correlations, and energy and angular momen tum exchange between electrons in a Coulomb field playa decisive role in the under standing of postcollision interactions. New results on coherence effects and orienta tion and alignment in collisional processes of ions with surfaces and crystal lattices show links to relevant interference phenomena in atomic collisions. In small-angle elastic electron-atom scattering the effect of angular coherence can be studied in a crossed beam experiment.
The focus of the present proceedings is on the dynamics of simple collision systems on the atomic scale with special attention to many-body effects in the induced excitation/ionization/fragmentation processes. The systems range from atoms to molecules, clusters and surfaces interacting with projectiles including electrons, ions, and photons from synchrotron as well as laser sources. It is essential to any scientist in the field as well as to any student engaged in a course of fundamental atomic physics.
Professor Philip G. Burke, CBE, FRS formally retired on 30 September 1998. To recognise this occasion some of his colleagues, friends, and former students decided to hold a conference in his honour and to present this volume as a dedication to his enormous contribution to the theoretical atomic physics community. The conference and this volume of the invited talks reflect very closely those areas with which he has mostly been asso- ated and his influence internationally on the development of atomic physics coupled with a parallel growth in supercomputing. Phil’s wide range of interests include electron-atom/molecule collisions, scattering of photons and electrons by molecules adsorbed on surfaces, collisions involving oriented and chiral molecules, and the development of non-perturbative methods for studying multiphoton processes. His devel- ment of the theory associated with such processes has enabled important advances to be made in our understanding of the associated physics, the interpretation of experimental data, has been invaluable in application to fusion processes, and the study of astrophysical plasmas (observed by both ground- and space-based telescopes). We therefore offer this volume as our token of affection and respect to Philip G. Burke, with the hope that it may also fill a gap in the literature in these important fields.
Electron and Photon Impact Ionisation and Related Topics 2002 provides an overview of recent international research in the field of ionization by electron and photon impact. Emphasizing multi-particle coincidence studies, such as (e,2e), (e,3e), ionization-excitation, and double photo-ionization, the book contains 18 contributions of recent experimental, theoretical, and computational achievements in the realization, interpretation, and modeling of correlated processes that involve a wide range of targets, including atoms, molecules, and surfaces. It also covers nuclear reactions and interaction of electrons, photons, and ions with biological matter. This book is an essential reference for researchers working in atomic and molecular physics, surface science, chemistry, and biophysics.
