The present analysis of the origin and evolution of the solar
system represents a fusion of two initially independent approaches
to the problem. One of us (Alfven) started from a study of the
physical processes (1942, 1943a, 1946; summarized in a monograph in
1954), and the other (Arrhenius) from experimental studies of
plasma-solid reactions and from chemical and mineralogical analyses
of meteorites and lunar and terrestrial samples. Joined by the
common belief that the complicated events leading to the present
structure of the solar system can be understood only by an
integrated chemical-physical approach, we have established a
collaboration at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), in
La Jolla, during the last seven years. Our work, together with that
of many colleagues in La Jolla, Stockholm, and elsewhere, has
resulted in a series of papers describing the general principles of
our joint approach, experimental results, and model approximations
for some of the most important processes. The present volume is a
summary of our results, which we have tried to present in such a
form as to make the physics understandable to chemists and the
chemistry understandable to physicists. Our primary concern has
been to establish general constraints on applicable models. Hence
we have avoided complex mathematical treatment in cases where
approximations are sufficient to clarify the general character of
the processes.
