Offers an overview of international research in the field of ionization by electron and photon impact. This work covers nuclear reactions and interaction of electrons, photons, and ions with biological matter. It is suitable for researchers working in atomic and molecular physics, surface science, chemistry, and biophysics.

One of the most enduring elements in theoretical physics has been group theory. GROUP 24: Physical and Mathematical Aspects of Symmetries provides an important selection of informative articles describing recent advances in the field. The applications of group theory presented in this book deal not only with the traditional fields of physics, but also include such disciplines as chemistry and biology.
Awarded the Wigner Medal and the Weyl Prize, respectively, H.J. Lipkin and E. Frenkel begin the volume with their contributions. Plenary session contributions are represented by 18 longer...
