The spectroscopy of highly charged ions plays a key role in numerous areas of physics, from quantum electrodynamics (QED) and parity nonconservation (PNC) testing to fusion and plasma physics to x-ray astronomy. Handbook for Highly Charged Ion Spectroscopic Research brings together many of the techniques and ideas needed to carry out state-of-the-a
This Open Access book gives a comprehensive account of both the history and current achievements of molecular beam research. In 1919, Otto Stern launched the revolutionary molecular beam technique. This technique made it possible to send atoms and molecules with well-defined momentum through vacuum and to measure with high accuracy the deflections they underwent when acted upon by transversal forces. These measurements revealed unforeseen quantum properties of nuclei, atoms, and molecules that became the basis for our current understanding of quantum matter. This volume shows that many key areas of modern physics and chemistry owe their beginnings to the seminal molecular beam work of Otto Stern and his school. Written by internationally recognized experts, the contributions in this volume will help experienced researchers and incoming graduate students alike to keep abreast of current developments in molecular beam research as well as to appreciate the history and evolution of this powerful method and the knowledge it reveals.
There is a unity to physics; it is a discipline which provides the most fundamental understanding of the dynamics of matter and energy. To understand anything about a physical system you have to interact with it and one of the best ways to learn something is to use electrons as probes. This book is the result of a meeting, which took place in Magdalene College Cambridge in December 2001. Atomic, nuclear, cluster, soHd state, chemical and even bio- physicists got together to consider scattering electrons to explore matter in all its forms. Theory and experiment were represented in about equal measure. It was meeting marked by the most lively of discussions and the free exchange of ideas. We a...
Annotation Saddle-point electrons, target and projectile electron interactions, and highly-charged projectiles and two-center descriptions are the main topics of the two dozen papers. Others review the contribution to atomic physics of M. Eugene Rudd, retiring from the University of Nebraska. Among the contributed papers are discussions of two-center effects in electron excitation, electron plate-impact distortions in electron spectroscopy, and radial dose distributions in the delta-ray theory of track structure. Reproduced from typescripts. No subject index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Contains papers, lectures, and reports from the September 1996 conference on recent advances in both experimental and theoretical X-ray and inner-shell processes and their applications, with sections on radiation sources, highly charged ions, instrumentation and methods, nuclear scattering, electron
