N2 - This introductory chapter provides an overview on various elementary atomic physics processes and the general characteristics of radiation processes. The interrelation between radiation and matter is discussed in the framework of radiation trapping and the radiation transport theory. Simple, but efficient analytical approaches are presented to discuss the main effects of opacity and differential plasma motion on the spectral distribution. Particular attention is paid to autoionizing states together with corresponding Fano theory and dielectronic satellite emission. Novel properties like dielectronic satellite accumulation, transient three-body recombination, Stark broadening, nonlinear interference effects, and spatial properties are discussed along with many experimental data and spectroscopic applications. Finally, hollow ion X-ray emission of autoionizing states is presented that is still a mystery in high-current Z-pinch plasmas and dense laser-produced plasmas.
