Download or read book The Physics of Electronic and Atomic Collisions: XXI International Conference written by Yukikazu Itikawa and published by American Inst. of Physics. This book was released on 2000-02-23 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Conference on the Physics of Electronic and Atomic Collisions (ICPEAC) is the largest of the international conferences dealing with two-body dynamic interactions between photons, electrons, positrons, atoms, molecules, ions and clusters. These subjects are of fundamental importance in quantum physics and chemistry. They are also basic elementary processes in the fields of astrophysics, atmospheric science, gaseous electronics, plasma processing, nuclear fusion science and radiation physics and chemistry. This book includes all invited talks which cover fundamental physics (the nano-kelvin physics of Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic gases) to practical applications (ion beam treatment of cancer).
