About The Book:
Nonrelativistic Quantum X-Ray Physics by Stefan P. Hau-Riege provides a comprehensive theoretical background in photon-matter interactions, focusing on the principles behind experiments conducted at XFEL facilities and x-ray synchrotrons. This book is an essential resource for scientists and students who wish to understand and perform calculations related to key x-ray-matter interaction processes.

The text is designed to help readers go beyond the dipole approximation, delving into short-pulse interactions and complex non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics. Hau-Riege includes detailed examples that guide readers through advanced concepts, offering clarity on formalisms and processes. With a foundational understanding of mechanics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics as a prerequisite, the book introduces specialized concepts while directing readers to appropriate references for further study.

Key features include:

• Photon-matter interaction with focus on XFEL and x-ray synchrotron experiments

• Advanced topics in quantum electrodynamics

• Expanded discussions beyond the dipole approximation and short-pulse interactions

• Relevant for life sciences, biology, materials science, physics, and chemistry researchers

• Practical examples and problem-solving exercises to reinforce concepts

This book is primarily intended for users of x-ray light sources but is equally beneficial to researchers across various fields looking to apply these new technologies. Whether you are a student or a professional researcher, Nonrelativistic Quantum X-Ray Physics equips you with the knowledge to understand and contribute to the field of x-ray physics.
