This self-contained text introduces readers to the field of
high-energy atomic physics - a new regime of photon-atom
interactions in which the photon energies significantly exceed the
atomic or molecular binding energies, and which opened up with the
recent advent of new synchrotron sources. From a theoretical point
of view, a small-parameter characteristic of the bound system
emerged, making it possible to perform analytic perturbative
calculations that can in turn serve as benchmarks for more powerful
numerical computations. The first part of the book introduces
readers to the foundations of this new regime and its theoretical
treatment. In particular, the validity of the small-parameter
perturbation expansion and of the lowest-order approximation is
critically reviewed. The following chapters then apply these
insights to various atomic processes, such as photoionization as a
many-body problem, dominant mechanisms for the production of ions
at higher energies, Compton scattering and ionization accompanied
by creation of e-e+ pairs, and the photoionization of endohedral
atoms (e.g. fullerene). Last but not least, the computationally
challenging transitions in the electron shell during certain types
of nuclear decays are investigated in detail.
