Informationen zum Autor Belkic! Dzevad Klappentext Fast ion-atom collisions are of paramount importance in many high-priority branches of science and technology! including accelerator-based physics! controlled thermonuclear fusion! plasma and space research! particle transport physics! and more. This book focuses on multifaceted mechanisms of collisional phenomena with heavy ions and atoms at non-relativistic high energies. It provides a state-of-the-art review of the non-relativistic theory of high-energy ion-atom collisions. The author covers the most important theoretical methods currently available! examines cross sections and collisional rates for fast ion-atom collisions! and discusses simultaneous electron transfer and ionization. Zusammenfassung Suitable for graduate students, experienced researchers, and experts, this book provides a review of the non-relativistic theory of high-energy ion-atom collisions. It focuses on multifaceted mechanisms of collisional phenomena with heavy ions and atoms at non-relativistic high energies.
