A quantum field theoretic formulation of atomic collision phenomena involving non-relativistic free and bound systems is developed and a calculational procedure in terms of Feynman diagrams is prescribed. Matrix elements of several atomic collision processes have been calculated. In most cases standard quantum mechanical results are reproduced. But in some cases new terms appear in the scattering matrix whose contribution though negligibly small in the low energy region, become important at higher energies.
