Charged Particle and Photon Interactions with Matter (PDF)

Yoshihiko Hatano is director general of the Advanced Science Research Center at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency and professor emeritus at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Dr. Hatano is the author or coauthor of more than 280 refereed journal articles, scientific papers, and books. His research interests include primary and fundamental processes in charged particle and photon interactions with matter, spectroscopy and dynamics of superexcited states in photonic or electronic collisions with molecules, electron attachment and recombination, and collisional de-excitation of excited rare gas atoms.

Yosuke Katsumura is a professor at the University of Tokyo and a group leader of Basic Radiation Research at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. Dr. Katsumura has published more than 220 articles in peer-reviewed journals and books. His recent interests include radiolysis of supercritical water, ultrafast pulse radiolysis, and heavy ion beam radiolysis of water.

Asokendu Mozumder is research professor emeritus in the Radiation Laboratory and Department of Chemistry at the University of Notre Dame. Dr. Mozumder is the author or coauthor of nearly 125 articles in refereed journals. His research interests include theoretical aspects of radiation chemistry, early stages of radiolysis, theories of electron localization and trapping, and free-ion yield and mobility in liquid hydrocarbons.
