Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Volume I -- The wave equation -- The theory of the scattering of a beam of particles by a centre of force -- Scattering of a beam of particles by a coulomb field -- Inhomogeneous differential equations-the Green's function -- Scattering by a centre of force-Born's approximation and semi-classical approximations -- Variational methods for central force problems -- The scattering matrix, dispersion relations and miscellaneous theorems -- Scattering due to non-local, absorptive and multicentral interactions -- The spin of the electron -- Scattering by spin-dependent interactions, analysis of polarization, non- relativistic treatment. -- Collisions between two particles: non-relativistic theory -- Volume II -- General theory of atomic collisions - the Born and impulse approximations -- General theory of atomic collisions - the two-state approximation -- General theory of atomic collisions - the many-state problem and the generalized s matrix -- General theory of atomic collisions- rearrangement collisions -- Collisions of fast electrons with atoms -- Scattering of low energy electrons and positrons by hydrogen atoms -- Scattering of slow electrons and positrons by complex atoms -- Collisions between massive particles -- Nuclear collisions -- Transition probabilities by method of variation of parameters -- Relativistic two-body problems - radiation.
