Abstract
The introduction of lasers to the field of atomic collisions has provided a powerful new tool with which to investigate collision processes. Laser techniques have now been applied to the study of superelastic scattering and stepwise excitation processes, free-free transitions, photon recoil processes, Rydberg atom collisions, and spin-polarization effects. This chapter is restricted to consideration of two of these applications, namely, stepwise excitation and superelastic scattering studies of electron atom scattering.
