Nine years ago, in 1967, a conference on spallation nuclear
reactions and their applications in astrophysics was held at the
University of Pennsylvania. I Since that time, a number of devel
opments have given renewed impetus to the study of spallation
reactions. Among these are the successful acceleration of high
energy heavy ions in the laboratory and their potential use in
cancer radiotherapy, the availability of returned lunar rocks
containing records of past cosmic-ray irradiation, and the devel
opment of the theory that the spallation of interstellar matter is
responsible for much of the observed universal abundances of the
rare light nuclides. In May 1975, a new conference on spal lation
nuclear reactions and their applications to astrophysics and
radiotherapy was organized and held, again at the University of
Pennsylvania. The papers in this volume are primarily expanded and
updated versions of invited papers given at that conference. To the
authors of the papers, we owe a debt of gratitude for their
contributions and for their forbearance. The confer ence itself was
much stimulated by the services of the four session chairmen:
William A. Fowler, Serge A. Korff, Robert Serber, and Maurice M.
Shapiro, each of whom has over the years made fundamental
contributions to the subject matter of this volume. Crucial support
for much of the editorial work was provided by the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Science
Foundation. George W."
