During the last two decades, the theory of ion-atom collisions, and
particularly of charge-exchange reactions, has advanced rapidly to
the point where existing texts are no longer suitable as an
introduction to the subject. This book aims to remedy the situation
by providing an account of modern theoretical methods used to study
the interaction of positive ions with atoms (or ions),
concentrating particularly on charge-exchange reactions. These
reactions cannot be studied in isolation, and it is necessary to
consider to some extent, the whole range of ion-atom collisions
leading to elastic scattering, excitation, and ionization. The
material is presented at a level suitable for beginning research
students and is self-contained, but assumes a knowledge of
undergraduate quantum mechanics and atomic physics. It will also be
useful for experimentalists who wish to assess the status of
theoretical treatments of those collision processes in which they
are interested.
