✦ Synopsis

This book provides an overview of modern atomic physics with highly chargedions. It serves as an introduction to the subject for graduate and postgraduate students, as well as specialists in the field who will find a reasonable mixture of fundamentals and practical applications for their research. Familiarity with electrodynamics and some basic knowledge of atomic physics and quantum mechanics is assumed. The authors cover the more important basic concepts rather than striving for completeness or generality. They emphasise physical understanding and include many illustrations, making the book accessible to a broad range of physicists working in atomic and plasma physics, astrophysics, laser physics and spectroscopy.
