The basic theory of multistep nuclear reactions as developed by Feshbach, Kerman and Koonin in the seventies, and published in final form in 1980, has served as strong stimulus for both theorists and experimentalists working in this exciting field. The meeting held at Faure brought together some of the leading experts in this field to discuss current progress and problems in the multistep process in nuclear reaction physics from both the theoretical and experimental standpoint.
