This 1967 volume is a monumental cornerstone of plasma physics literature. Written by E. W. McDaniel and edited for the Soviet audience by the legendary Academician Lev Artsimovich—the "father of the Tokamak"—this 832-page monograph remains one of the most exhaustive references on atomic and molecular collision processes. The book provides a systematic categorization of experimental data and theoretical frameworks concerning electron and ion behavior in gases.
It covers essential phenomena such as ionization cross-sections, elastic and inelastic scattering, recombination, and charge transfer. Beyond its scientific depth, this specific edition is notable for its striking "space-age" binding designed by M. Shlosberg, featuring a distinct grey cloth with black, blue, and silver decorative stamping. For decades, this has been the "desk bible" for researchers in gas discharge, vacuum technology, and controlled thermonuclear fusion. It is an indispensable acquisition for collectors of mid-century scientific monographs and those tracking the development of Soviet plasma research.
