Since the early days of modem physics spectroscopic techniques have
been employed as a powerful tool to assess existing theoretical
models and to uncover novel phenomena that promote the development
of new concepts. Conventionally, the system to be probed is
prepared in a well-defined state. Upon a controlled perturbation
one measures then the spectrum of a single particle (electron,
photon, etc.) emitted from the probe. The analysis of this single
particle spectrum yields a wealth of important information on the
properties of the system, such as optical and magnetic behaviour.
Therefore, such analysis is nowadays a standard tool to investigate
and characterize a variety of materials. However, it was clear at a
very early stage that real physical compounds consist of many
coupled particles that may be excited simultaneously in response to
an external perturbation. Yet, the simultaneous (coincident)
detection of two or more excited species proved to be a serious
technical obstacle, in particular for extended electronic systems
such as surfaces. In recent years, however, coincidence techniques
have progressed so far as to image the multi-particle excitation
spectrum in an impressive detail. Correspondingly, many-body
theoretical concepts have been put forward to interpret the
experimental findings and to direct future experimental research.
This book gives a snapshot of the present status of multi-particle
coincidence studies both from a theoretical and an experimental
point of view. It also includes selected topical review articles
that highlight the achievements and the power of coincident
techniques.
