β¦ Synopsis
This is the third in a series of topical-review volumes about the precision physics of simple atoms all published in LNP. The simplicity of atoms allows one to use them as a tool to explore effects beyond atomic physics ranging from fundamental constants and fundamental symmetries to particle and nuclear properties. This volume, like its predecessors, presents multidisciplinary treatments of important areas and new developments within precision physics. It concentrates on new topics and those not treated in the previous volumes. For example, on the proton structure and its effects on the energy levels, on simple molecules, on atoms somewhat more complicated than hydrogen (such as lithium), on exotic atoms and atoms with exotic nuclei.
The book includes a foreword by Nobel Prize Laureate Theodor HΓ€nsch.

Precision physics of simple atoms is a multidisciplinary area, involving atomic, laser, nuclear and particle physics and also metrology. This book will thus be of interest to a broad community of physicists and metrologists. Furthermore, since hydrogen (and other hydrogen-like atoms) is a model syst
Contains invited reviews on the spectroscopy of hydrogen, muonium, positronium, few electron ions and exotic atoms, together with related topics such as frequency metrology and the determination of fundamental constants.
Presents a unified account of the physics of atoms and molecules at a level suitable for undergraduate courses of physics and physical chemistry.
