During the last two decades the theory of ion-atom collisons, and particularly of charge-
exchange reactions has advanced rapidly to the point where existing texts are no longer …

Electron EM reviews the theoretical and experimental work of the last 30 years on
continuous electron emission in energetic ion-atom collisions. High incident energies for …

The physics of highly charged ions has become an essential ingredient of many modern
research fields, such as x-ray astronomy and astrophysics, con trolled thermonuclear fusion …

Binary stopping theory has been developed to characterize the electronic stopping of swift
heavy ions in matter. It is an extension of Bohr's classical theory of 1913 incorporating …

The theoretical description of sparse matter attracts much interest, in particular for those
ground-state properties that can be described by density functional theory. One proposed …

In this contribution, heavy-element research at RIKEN, Japan is reviewed. Nuclei of the
heaviest elements were produced by the reactions 208 Pb (64 Ni, n) 271 Ds, 209 Bi (64 Ni …

Charge transfer, or charge exchange, describes a process in which an ion takes one or
more electrons from another atom. Investigations of this fundamental process have …

Measurements of heavy-ion slowing down in matter differ in many aspects from experiments
with light particles like protons and α-particles. An overview of the special experimental …
