Opis

Written in a tutorial style by some of the key practitioners in the field, this book provides a comprehensive account of charged particle imaging and describes many of its recent applications. The technique has revolutionized experimental studies of photodissociation and bimolecular collisions over the past couple of decades. It is of primary interest to researchers and graduate students working in chemical and molecular physics requiring an overview of the subject as well as ideas for future experiments.
