Abstract:Abstract. The production of about half of the heavy elements in nature occurs via the r-process, i.e. a combination of rapid neutron captures, inverse photodisintegrations, and slower β -decays, β -delayed processes as well as fission and possibly interactions with neutrino fluxes. A correct understanding and modelling of this nucleosynthesis process requires the knowledge of nuclear properties far from stability and a detailed description of the astrophysical environments.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
