Correlation and Polarization in Photonic, Electronic, and Atomic Collisions

The focus of the present proceedings is on the dynamics of simple collision systems on the atomic scale with special attention to many-body effects in the induced excitation/ionization/fragmentation processes. The systems range from atoms to molecules, clusters and surfaces interacting with projectiles including electrons, ions, and photons from synchrotron as well as laser sources. It is essential to any scientist in the field as well as to any student engaged in a course of fundamental atomic physics.
