We invite you to submit manuscripts for a Special issue of Atoms on “Atomic and Ionic Collisions: Laboratory and Astrophysical Relevance”. Many fields
in physics and astronomy, depend on data for ionic, atomic and molecular collision processes. Nowadays, in the field of astrophysics modeling of these
data is especially important and needed for simulations/calculations. Additionally, these processes are important for diagnostics, analysis and modeling
of fusion plasma, laser produced plasma, lasers design and development and various plasmas in industry and technology. Among these amounts of
data collection, there are collisional and radiative processes that even today are poorly represented. Therefore, there is an urgent need to collect these
data, as well as to develop methods for improving the existing ones.
We would like to invite you to submit articles addressing collisional and radiative processes, so that these results will be used by other scientists and
that the compilation of such data will be useful to data producers as well. This Special Issue aims to encourage further dialogue and knowledge transfer.
