Correlations, Polarization and Ionization in Atomic Systems. Proceedings of the International Symposium on (e,2e), Double Photoionization, and Related Topics, and the Eleventh International Symposium on Polarization and Correlation in Electronic and Atomic Collisions: Rolla, Missouri, 25-28 July 2001

This book covers a broad range of currently hot topics in atomic physics. Rapid progress both in experimental and theoretical techniques lead to continuously growing insight into topics like many-body and electron-electron correlation effects in excitation and charge transfer processes. Furthermore, established techniques originally developed to study atomic collisions have been refined to a point where they are now being applied to chemical, solid state and even biological systems, thus providing links to other scientific areas.
