Abstract
We review the observed properties of anomalous cosmic rays and the pre sent status of our knowledge of the processes by which they originate. We compiled a comprehensive set of ACR energy spectral data from vari ous spacecraft throughout the heliosphere during the passes of Ulysses over the poles of the Sun and present first results of a detailed mod eling effort. In several contributions, we discuss the questions of in jection and possible pre-acceleration of pickup ions, summarize new ob servations on the ionic charge composition, and present new results on the composition of minor ions in ACRs.
