This book is a survey of the field of many-body atomic physics. The contributions encompass three major areas of study--atomic structure, atomic photoionization, and electron-atom collisions--and deal with the historical development of many-body theory, theoretical considerations, and applications. It will be a suitable introduction to the field for graduate students and researchers in atomic physics and quantum chemistry.
- Prepared by leading theorists
