The papers collected in this volume have been presented during a
workshop on "Electron-Atom and Molecule Collisions" held at the
Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies of the University of Bielefeld
in May 1980. This workshop, part of a larger program concerned with
the "Properties and Reactions of Isolated Molecules and Atoms,"
focused on the theory and computational techniques for the quanti
tative description of electron scattering phenomena. With the
advances which have been made in the accurate quantum mechanical
characterisation of bound states of atoms and molecules, the more
complicated description of the unbound systems and resonances
important in electron collision processes has matured too. As expli
cated in detail in the articles of this volume, the theory for the
quantitative explanation of elastic and inelastic electron molecule
collisions, of photo- and multiple photon ionization and even for
electron impact ionization is well developed in a form which lends
itself to a complete quantitative ab initio interpretation and pre
diction of the observable effects. Many of the experiences gained
and the techniques which have evolved over the years in the com
putational characterization of bound states have become an
essential basis for this development. To be sure, much needs to be
done before we have a complete and detailed theoretical
understanding of the known collisional processes and of the
phenomena and effects, which may still be un covered with the
continuing refinement of the experimental tech niques.
