Abstract: | This report is a brief introduction to some of the vital contributions that the Advanced Composition Explorer Mission will
make towards our understanding of the origins of matter and acceleration of particles on a wide range of solar and astrophysical
scales. Examples of these contributions are drawn from two broad areas of the space sciences. They are: (1) Dynamical phenomena
at the Sun and in the inner heliosphere; and (2) The elemental and isotopic composition of matter in the solar wind, solar
accelerated ejecta, galactic cosmic radiation and the anomalous nuclear component in the heliosphere. Some current problems
with theories intended to account for these phenomena are discussed, including interpretations of the stable and radioactive
isotopes in the galactic cosmic rays.
