Contents include: electron-capture decay of cosmic-rays; cosmic ray heavy ions at and above 40,000 feet; neutron-generated single-event upsets in the atmosphere; nuclear cross sections, cosmic-ray propagation, and source composition; radiation transport of cosmic-ray nuclei in lunar material and radiation doses; nongeometric behavior of nucleus-nucleus total inelastic cross sections; environmental models for single-event upset estimation; uncertainties in cosmic ray source composition; late stage in acceleration of cosmic rays; ultraheavy cosmic rays and electron capture; propagation of heavy cosmic-ray nuclei; on the abundances of ultraheavy cosmic rays; LET distributions and doses of HZe radiation components at near earth orbits; and radiation doses and LET (linear energy transfer) distributions of cosmic rays.
