Written by the top expert in the field and engaging with all the key issues in PB, both theoretical and experimental, this publication will inform the future direction of research by bringing a level of coherence to the topic unequalled in previous treatments.

The book is devoted to the modern theory and experimental manifestation of Polarization Bremsstrahlung (PB) which arises due to scattering of charged particles from various targets: atoms, nanostructures (including atomic clusters, nanoparticle in dielectric matrix, fullerens, graphene-like two-dimensional atomic structure) and in condensed matter (monocrystals, polycrystals, partially ordered crystals and amorphous matter) The present book addresses mainly researchers interested in the radiative processes during the interaction between fast particles and matter. It also will be useful for post-graduate students specializing in radiation physics and related fields.

Author is acknowledged as foremost expert in the field Timely publication covering all the main issues Brings a coherence to the topic that has been lacking in previous treatments Will help to stimulate further work Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
