The Hauser-Feshbach formula for the average compound-nucleus cross section formalizes Bohr's hypothesis of the independence of formation and decay of the compound nucleus. The statistical theory of compound-nuclear reactions aims at establishing the domain and limits of applicability of that formula and of Ericson's model for statistical cross section fluctuations using random-matrix theory as a starting point. I discuss the present status of that program, including the treatment of direct reactions.
