This handbook is a timely resource for the rapidly growing field of heavy-ion transport-model theory and its applications in accelerator development, heavy-ion radiotherapy and shielding of accelerators, as well as in space. Data from more than 20 years of experiments in the production of secondary neutrons and spallation products are contained in the handbook and on the accompanying CD. Transport modellers and experimentalists will find the detailed descriptions of the experiments and subsequent analyses valuable in utilizing the data for their applications.
