This book presents a theoretical analysis of the problem of bound state continuum transitions in low energy collisions involving a negative ion. Each chapter contains a short bibliography intended to supply the reader with a basis for further reading.Contents:Ion-Atom Collisions in the Molecular RegimeContinuum States-Scattering by a PotentialCollisional Detachment in H--Rare Gas CollisionsAssociative DetachmentElectron-Molecule CollisionsDissociative Attachment and Vibrational Excitation in e--HCl Collisions and e--H2 CollisionsReadership: Researchers in atomic-molecular physics.Key Features:A comprehensive and in-depth treatment of the topics, ranging from terrestrial neutron measurement to simulation method of soft-error rates of semiconductor memory devicesThe first systematic description of neutron-induced soft errors from the experimental and theoretical viewpointsContributions from experts in the fields of neutron detection technology, accelerator neutron physics, soft-error mechanism, semiconductor device technologyThe most recent scenario in international standardization of soft-error testing methods is introduced
