The first part of the book presents introductory chapters on light and particle polarization, experimental and computational methods, and the density matrix and state multipole formalism. Examples and exercises are included. The second part of the book deals with case studies of electron impact and heavy particle excitation, electron transfer, impact ionization, and autoionization. A separate chapter on photo-induced processes by new-generation light sources has been added. The last chapter discusses related topics and applications. Part III includes examples of charge clouds and introductory summaries of selected seminal papers of tutorial value from the early history of the field (1925 ? 1975). The book is a significant update to the previous (first) edition, particularly in experimental and computational methods, the inclusion of key results obtained during the past 15 years, and the extended coverage of photo-induced processes. It is intended as an introductory text for both experimental and theoretical students and researchers. It can be used as a textbook for graduate courses, as a primary source for special topics and seminar courses, and as a standard reference. The book is accompanied by electronically available copies of the full text of the key papers in Part III, as well as animations of theoretically predicted electron charge clouds and currents for some of the cases discussed in Part II. 410 0$aSpringer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics,$x1615-5653 ;$v96 606 $aAtoms 606 $aPhysics 606 $aCondensed matter 606 $aAtomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24009 606 $aCondensed Matter Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25005 606 $aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021 615 0$aAtoms. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aCondensed matter. 615 14$aAtomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics. 615 24$aCondensed Matter Physics. 615 24$aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation. 676 $a539.758 700 $aAndersen$b Nils$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0823843 702 $aBartschat$b Klaus$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254599403321 996 $aPolarization, Alignment, and Orientation in Atomic Collisions$92000198 997 $aUNINA
