Overview

High-energy ion-atom collisions are the subject of intense investigation in present-day atomic physics, as they provide fundamental information on the collision mechanisms of ions and atoms, and on their highly excited states. This collection of essays reflects the present state of research in the field. Topics covered include electron capture and loss (including ionization), double electron and resonance processes, electron correlation and post-collision interaction effects, and the collisions of antiparticles with atoms.
