Abstract
After a brief historical survey this paper describes some of Jens Lind hard's contributions to the theory of particle penetration with the em phasis on stopping power and related problems. Main application areas are mentioned and needs for future research outlined. Stopping theory is a mature field with a certain amount of inertia. A few areas are id entified where a moderate change in priorities could better serve the needs of the user community. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
