Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Deals with elastic, inelastic and reactive collisions between heavy particles. The impact energy range extends from sub-thermal to energies at which nuclear forces become significant. Although the focus is on experiment, theory is integrated with experimental discussions. Scattering resonances, beam monochromators, particle detectors, coincidence measurements and laser photodetachment are among the topics covered. Includes extensive references and problem sets.

Informazioni sull'autore

About the authors EARL W. McDANIEL is Regents’ Professor Emeritus of Physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he has taught and conducted research since 1954. He has held a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Fulbright Senior Research Scholarship. He has served as a consultant to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the U.S. Army Missile Command, United Technologies, and other organizations. Dr. McDaniel is the author or coauthor of six books on atomic collisions and gaseous electronics, and the coeditor of nine other books dealing with these subjects. J. B. A. MITCHELL is Professor of Physics and Director of the Center for Chemical Physics at the University of Western Ontario. His research interests include the study of electron-ion recombination using the merged beam technique and of the development of methods for smoke reduction in large-scale fires. Dr. Mitchell is the coeditor of Dissociative Recombination: Theory, Experiment and Applications, Dissociative Recombination: Theory, Experiment and Applications II and is the cochairman of the XIXth ICPEAC Conference in Whistler, Canada, in 1995. He received his PhD in physics from Queen’s University, Belfast, in 1975. M. EUGENE RUDD is Professor of Physics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he has been since 1965. He received the Burlington-Northern Distinguished Teacher-Scholar Award at the University of Nebraska in 1991 and an Honorary Doctor of Science Degree from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, in 1992. In 1980 he was the Chairman of the American Physical Society’s Division of Electron and Atomic Physics and he is currently the Chairman of the Report Committee on Secondary Electron Spectra for the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements. He is the author of Science on the Great Plains: The History of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He received his PhD in physics from the University of Nebraska in 1962.
