Product Description
Product Description
Scattering is the collision of two objects that results in a change of trajectory and energy. For example, in particle physics, such as electrons, photons, or neutrons are "scattered off" of a target specimen, resulting in a different energy and direction. In the field of electromagnetism, scattering is the random diffusion of electromagnetic radiation from air masses is an aid in the long-range sending of radio signals over geographic obstacles such as mountains. This type of scattering, applied to the field of acoustics, is the spreading of sound in many directions due to irregularities in the transmission medium.
Volume I of Scattering will be devoted to basic theoretical ideas, approximation methods, numerical techniques and mathematical modeling. Volume II will be concerned with basic experimental techniques, technological practices, and comparisons with relevant theoretical work including seismology, medical applications, meteorological phenomena and astronomy. This reference will be used by researchers and graduate students in physics, applied physics, biophysics, chemical physics, medical physics, acoustics, geosciences, optics, mathematics, and engineering.
This is the first encyclopedic-range work on the topic of scattering theory in quantum mechanics, elastodynamics, acoustics, and electromagnetics. It serves as a comprehensive interdisciplinary presentation of scattering and inverse scattering theory and applications in a wide range of scientific fields, with an emphasis, and details, up-to-date developments. Scattering also places an emphasis on the problems that are still in active current research.
The first interdisciplinary reference source on scattering to gather all world expertise in this technique
Covers the major aspects of scattering in a common language, helping to widening the knowledge of researchers across disciplines
The list of editors, associate editors and contributors reads like an international Who's Who in the interdisciplinary field of scattering

This review is from: Scattering, Two-Volume Set: Scattering and inverse scattering in Pure and Applied Science (Hardcover)
The phenomenon of scattering was, and still is, split between fields of science that have little to do with each other, on a day to day basis. At one extreme is the scattering studied in high energy and nuclear physics. The distances at which the interactions occur can be measured in fermis (10**-15 meters) or less. And the interaction energies can go over an MeV. Needless to say, the technologies developed to study this in particle accelerators and nuclear reactors are quite specialized. The books give detailed treatment of this.Off to another side is the scattering in classical electromagnetism. Nowadays, this is heavily used in engineering. For example, in antenna design in every region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Due if nothing else to the technological importance of this field, the books also treat it extensively. Yet another type of scattering covered in the volumes is acoustic scattering. Useful in sonar, ie. underwater, and especially military applications. But also used in more prosaic applications like designing musical devices or directional microphones. It is rare to see all such covered together well in just 2 volumes.
