The interplay of nuclear and atomic physics in the synthesis of the elements [electronic resource]
In many astronomical environments, physical conditions are so extreme that matter is almost completely ionized. The absence of bound atomic electrons can dramatically alter the decay rates of a number of radioactive nuclei. Several examples of this interplay of nuclear and atomic physics relevant to...

| Summary: | In many astronomical environments, physical conditions are so extreme that matter is almost completely ionized. The absence of bound atomic electrons can dramatically alter the decay rates of a number of radioactive nuclei. Several examples of this interplay of nuclear and atomic physics relevant to the synthesis of the chemical elements are described. 16 refs., 4 figs. |
