An interaction between nucleons and/or nuclei is commonly termed a nuclear reaction. This includes a variety of processes such as elastic or inelastic scattering, spallation, fragmentation, fission, etc. In the present work strontium, enriched to greater than 99.8% in mass 88, was bombarded with protons in the energy range 7 to 85 MeV. Elastic or inelastic scattering studies, although important, have not been undertaken in this work. The process of fission involves the division of target nucleus into two or more roughly equal masses; while in fragmentation, chunks of nuclear matter are split off from the struck nucleus. The chance of occurrence of the latter two processes, in the range of energy and for the target nucleus under investigation, is very small. We will therefore concern ourselves with spallation reactions in which nucleons or small clusters of nucleons are ejected from the bombarded nucleus. [...]
