This book offers a comprehensive and cohesive overview of transport
processes associated with all kinds of charged particles, including
electrons, ions, positrons, and muons, in both gases and condensed
matter. The emphasis is on fundamental physics, linking experiment,
theory and applications. In particular, the authors discuss: The
kinetic theory of gases, from the traditional Boltzmann equation to
modern generalizations A complementary approach: Maxwell's
equations of change and fluid modeling Calculation of ion-atom
scattering cross sections Extension to soft condensed matter,
amorphous materials Applications: drift tube experiments, including
the Franck-Hertz experiment, modeling plasma processing devices,
muon catalysed fusion, positron emission tomography, gaseous
radiation detectors Straightforward, physically-based arguments are
used wherever possible to complement mathematical rigor. Robert
Robson has held professorial positions in Japan, the USA and
Australia, and was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at several
universities in Germany. He is a Fellow of the American Physical
Society. Ronald White is Professor of Physics and Head of Physical
Sciences at James Cook University, Australia. Malte Hildebrandt is
Head of the Detector Group in the Laboratory of Particle Physics at
the Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland.
