Investigations of the Interactions of Radiation with Matter.

Abstract

Charged particle impact ionization of atoms and molecules is discussed, along with photoabsorption by excited states and ground state atoms, and properties of atomic ions. Relevance of this research to applications in radiation damage and protection, nuclear pumped and x-ray lasers, IR generation and detection, and atmospheric beam devices is pointed out.
