During the last ten years an unprecedented effort has been directed
towards study of the dynamics of ion collision phenomena in the gas
phase, usually with a view to applications in diverse areas,
ranging from fusion reactors and lasers to ionospheric and
interstellar chemistry and gaseous electronics. The principal aim
of this volume is to present a succinct overview of contemporary
interests and trends in the field of low energy ion-electron and
ion-atom (molecule) collision physics, with emphasis on fundamental
aspects. Researchers and students will become acquainted, in a
general and fairly non-specialized fashion, with recent progress in
this area of continuing intense activity. The material is divided
into two parts, dealing with atomic ions and molecular ions. Each
of the nine chapters has been prepared by authors who are amongst
the most eminent practitioners of contemporary ion collision
physics. The book is dedicated to Professor J.B. Hasted, one of the
pioneering workers who, in the course of his forty year career,
helped establish atomic collision physics as a field in its own
right.
