Abstract: Written by one of the field's leading researchers and his colleagues, this unique book presents an account of the relativistic theory of atomic spectra, based on the adiabatic S-matrix formalism of Gell-Mann and Low. Topics addressed are QED theory, applications of S-matrix QED calculations to energy levels, transition probabilities, parity non-conservation in spectra, influence of external fields on spectra and the overall theoretical background. Relativistic Effects in the Spectra of Atomic Systems will be an important book for theoreticians working in the area of many-electron systems and experimentalist working with optical properties of atoms and heavy ions, as well as being a valuable teaching text for graduate level students of these research methods.
