Theory of Atomic Collisions

N. F. Mott, H. S. W. Massey0198520301, 9780198520306

This is the first paperback edition of a classic and enduring work. It is split into two volumes, with Volume I describing various aspects of the one-body collision problem, and Volume II covering many-body problems and applications of the theory to electron collisions with atoms, collisions between atomic systems, and nuclear collisions, as well as certain aspects of two-body collisions under relativistic conditions and the use of time-dependent perturbation theory.
