This Series gives unique and expert coverage of cutting-edge advances of theory and
experiments on collisions and spectroscopy in interdisciplinary research. These two main
strategies for studying the structure of matter on vastly different levels are deeply and
fundamentally intertwined through a panoply of similar or common concepts as well as via
mathematical and computational methods, both deterministic and stochastic.
Regarding collisions, the Series will explore both light and heavy particle laser-free
and laser-assisted collisions from low to high energies. This is rooted in their key interdisciplinary significance in wide applications. The Series will encourage contributions from basic as well as applied sciences, the joint home of both collisions and spectroscopy.
Collisions and spectroscopy from basic research in physics and chemistry have made
gigantic strides across interdisciplinary fields, including life sciences. For example, spectroscopy via nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR, has a great potential in cancer diagnostics. Likewise, heavy ions are especially important in the quest for new energy sources through thermo-nuclear fusion and in hadron therapy.
Overall, this Series will focus on the multifaceted interdisciplinary character of collision and spectroscopy, as motivated by the existing consensus that the most profound
progress in emerging sciences of strategic importance for the society at large is critically guided by inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches to complex research problems.
The Series' audience includes researchers and graduate students in pure and applied physics specializing on intermediate-to-high energy particle collisions primarily with atoms and molecules, as well as on NMR spectroscopy and ion cyclotron resonance mass spectroscopy. Broad applications will particularly be focused on light and heavy ion collisions for the need of thermo-nuclear fusion and radio-therapy, as well as on new paradigms in NMR spectroscopy for early cancer diagnostics.
The Series will be published once or twice per year through independent textbooks,
monographs, lecture notes, state-of-the-art review volumes by one or more invited authors
or edited volumes with chapters by different expert contributors.
