This book is devoted to the investigation of a rather prevalent
process in nature: interaction of atoms with electromagnetic
radiation. Primary attention is given to the low and intermediate
photon energy region, from tens to hundreds of electron-volts. It
is in this region that the probability of photon absorption and
photoionization is largest. Data in this energy region are very
interesting and useful in astrophysics and plasma physics,
solid-state physics and quantum electronics, and in a number of
other branches of science and technical applications. Formulae for
hydrogen atom photoionization are given in almost all textbooks on
quantum mechanics. Together with the limited amounts of
experimental data available up to the beginning of the sixties, the
formulae gave an impression of the completeness of the study of
photoionization, of the absolute clarity of the mechanism of the
process, and of the possibility of calculating rather easily its
probability using the formulae.
