Atomic Properties in Hot Plasmas
This book is devoted to the calculation of hot-plasma properties which generally requires a huge number of atomic data. It is the first book that combines information on the details of the basic atomic physics and its application to atomic spectroscopy with the use of the relevant statistical approaches. Information like energy levels, radiative rates, collisional and radiative cross-sections, etc., must be included in equilibrium or non-equilibrium models in order to describe both the atomic-population kinetics and the radiative properties. From the very large number of levels and transitions involved in complex ions, some statistical (global) properties emerge. The book presents a coherent...
Atomic Processes in Plasmas
All papers were peer-reviewed for this proceedings volume. The conference focused on atomic physics relevant to plasmas, and plasma science dependent on atomic processes, from either a modeling or diagnostics point of view. Also, an exciting breakthrough discovery was first announced at this conference on a new antihydrogen formation technique. Topics include the relatively mature research areas of atomic structure and collisions, atomic kinetics, laser-produced plasmas, magnetic- and inertial-confinement fusion, Z-pinches, opacities and equation of state, lighting, and astrophysics, as well as the burgeoning areas of warm dense matter simulations and ultracold plasmas used, for example, in the recent formation of antihydrogen.

Modern Methods in Collisional-Radiative Modeling of Plasmas
This book provides a compact yet comprehensive overview of recent developments in collisional-radiative (CR) modeling of laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. It describes advances across the entire field, from basic considerations of model completeness to validation and verification of CR models to calculation of plasma kinetic characteristics and spectra in diverse plasmas. Various approaches to CR modeling are presented, together with numerous examples of applications. A number of important topics, such as atomic models for CR modeling, atomic data and its availability and quality, radiation transport, non-Maxwellian effects on plasma emission, ionization potential lowering, and verification and validation of CR models, are thoroughly addressed. Strong emphasis is placed on the most recent developments in the field, such as XFEL spectroscopy. Written by leading international research scientists from a number of key laboratories, the book offers a timely summary of the most recent progress in this area. It will be a useful and practical guide for students and experienced researchers working in plasma spectroscopy, spectra simulations, and related fields.
Atomic Processes in Plasmas
The APS Topical Conference on Atomic Processes in Plasmas brings together researchers working in atomic physics and in plasma science, emphasizing the strong and synergistic overlap of these fields. The latest developments in atomic physics reported are recent advances in plasma science, such as in magnetic or inertial confinement fusion, Z-pinches, astrophysics, and technical plasma processing.
Spectral Line Shapes
This biennial conference is the main international forum for both fundamental and applied works dealing with processes related to the formation of the spectral line profiles and with their use for diagnostic purposes. On the fundamental side, the study of the line profiles reveals the underlying atomic and molecular interactions. On the practical side, the line profiles are employed as powerful diagnostic tools for various media, such as neutral gases, technological gas discharges, magnetically-confined plasmas for fusion, laser- and Z-pinch-produced plasmas, astrophysical plasmas, and planetary atmospheres.
Citizen Emperor
In this second volume of Philip Dwyer’s authoritative biography on one of history’s most enthralling leaders, Napoleon, now 30, takes his position as head of the French state after the 1799 coup. Dwyer explores the young leader’s reign, complete with mistakes, wrong turns, and pitfalls, and reveals the great lengths to which Napoleon goes in the effort to fashion his image as legitimate and patriarchal ruler of the new nation. Concealing his defeats, exaggerating his victories, never hesitating to blame others for his own failings, Napoleon is ruthless in his ambition for power. Following Napoleon from Paris to his successful campaigns in Italy and Austria, to the disastrous invasion o...
When Ego Was Imago
The diffusion of personal signs of identity during the twelfth century introduced individuals to mediated forms of communication. The book analyses the conditions for and the implications of their partnering with material signs and images in expressing self and accountability.
