Radiative processes in atomic physics

the long version

Much of the material that is essential to the development of a complete understanding of radiative processes in atomic physics is not to be found in the standard atomic physics textbooks. This remarkable volume breaks new ground on two fronts: It provides a comprehensive description of the contemporary treatment of radiative processes in atoms; and it presents this material in a useful and engaging format - a succession of problems. This essential reference work and advanced textbook is best suited for graduate students and researchers in the fields of quantum mechanics, atomic and molecular physics, plasma physics, laser physics, and synchrotron light-source applications.
