Impact of Few-Body Reactions on Explosive Nucleosynthesis: The Big-Bang and Supernovae

  • Conference paper
Book cover Few-Body Problems in Physics ’99

Part of the book series: Few-Body Systems ((FEWBODY,volume 12))

Abstract

We study the few body reactions in explosive nucleosynthesis of light-to-heavy mass elements in various astrophysical conditions. In neutrino-driven winds of gravitational core collapse of SNell, several light nuclei as well as heavy unstable nuclei paly significant roles in producing r-process elements. We discuss how the three-body reaction 4He(αn,γ )9Be, whose cross section is poorly known, plays very critical role. We make note that several other reactions in the r-process are relevant to a Big-Bang nucleosynthesis. We discuss briefly a Galactic chemical evolution.
