The two-point amplitude, AZ(kZ. k,), describing the scattering of the lowest string excitation (the tachyon) by a gravitational shock wave (GSW) is computed. For this purpose, we use the appropriate vertex operator in the GSW background. We explicitly evaluate Az(kz, k,) for large impact parameter

The rigorous solution for cylindrical gravitational waves is given. For the convenience of the reader the theory of gravitational waves and their production, already known in principle, is given in the first part of this paper. After encountering relationships which cast doubt on the existence of ri
