Abstract
A review of the quantum theory of ionizing collisions is presented, with particular regard to recent theoretical developments. A discussion is given of quantal and classical approximations and their predictions compared with experimental data. Some useful empirical formulas are listed and compared, and in conclusion mention is made of the present inadequacies in the theory.Keywords
