Polarization, Alignment, and Orientation in Atomic Collisions Second Edition

Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics Volume 96

Editor-in-chief Gordon W.F. Drake, Windsor, Canada Series editors James Babb, Cambridge, USA Andre D. Bandrauk, Sherbrooke, Canada Klaus Bartschat, Des Moines, USA Philip George Burke, Belfast, UK Robert N. Compton, Knoxville, USA Tom Gallagher, Charlottesville, USA Charles J.

The Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics covers in a comprehensive manner theory and experiment in the entire field of atoms and molecules and their interaction with electromagnetic radiation. Books in the series provide a rich source of new ideas and techniques with wide applications in fields such as chemistry, materials science, astrophysics, surface science, plasma technology, advanced optics, aeronomy, and engineering. Laser physics is a particular connecting theme that has provided much of the continuing impetus for new developments in the field, such as quantum computation and Bose-Einstein condensation. The purpose of the series is to cover the gap between standard undergraduate textbooks and the research literature with emphasis on the fundamental ideas, methods, techniques, and results in the field.
