Basic Atomic Interactions of Accelerated Heavy Ions in Matter: Atomic Interactions of Heavy Ions (Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics)

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.

this Volume Presents, With Some Amplification, The Notes On The Lectures On Nuclear Physics Given By Enrico Fermi At The University Of Chicago In 1949.

the Compilers Of This Publication May Be Warmly Congratulated. . . . The Scope Of This Course Is Amazing: Within 240 Pages It Ranges From The General Properties Of Atomic Nuclei And Nuclear Forces To Mesons And Cosmic Rays, And Includes An Account Of Fission And Elementary Pile Theory. . . . The Course Addresses Itself To Experimenters Rather Than To Specialists In Nuclear Theory, Although The Latter Will Also Greatly Profit From Its Study On Account Of The Sound Emphasis Laid Everywhere On The Experimental Approach To Problems. . . . There Is A Copious Supply Of Problems.—proceedings Of The Physical Society
