is the production of light nuclei in collisions between either an energetic heavy nucleus and a low energy proton of the interstellar medium or an energetic proton and a low energy heavy nucleus of the interstellar medium. This process accounts for the relatively high abundance of Be, Li and B in cosmic rays.
