An (e,2e) experiment is the measurement of an electron impact ionization process where both the exiting electrons are detected in coincidence. This volume contains the papers that were presented at the Workshop on (e,2e) and related processes which took place in September/October 1992 in Cambridge, UK.

The technique has recently been extended to excitation ionization (e,3e) and (gamma,2e) experiments. Major theoretical advances have also been made, but much still remains to be done. This volume contains the invited papers that were presented at the Workshop on (e,2e) and related processes which took place in September/October 1992 in Cambridge, UK. The three major review papers which it contains together form an excellent introduction to this new and rapidly expanding area of physics and set the scene for the wide range of research contributions, both experimental and theoretical, from the leading scientists in the field.
