Abstract

Next to spectroscopic investigations of atoms, reactions provide one of the most important sources of information on the structure of atoms and their interactions. Reaction theory in general is a prominent and well developed field of theoretical physics [Tay72, Bur77, AJ77, New82, Bra83, Joa87, Sit91]. In this chapter we shall largely focus on the discussion of simple reactions which are induced by the collision of an electron as projectile with a target consisting of an atom or an ion. Nevertheless, many of the results are quite general and also applicable if the projectile is an ion or an atom. In the simplest case, where we can assume both projectile and target to be structureless objects, the projectile-target system is a two-body problem which can be reduced to a one-body problem for a particle with a reduced mass as described in Sect. 2.1
