Nuclear weak-interaction processes in stars


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Recent experimental data and progress in nuclear structure modeling have lead to improved descriptions of astrophysically important weak-interaction processes. The review discusses these advances and their applications to hydrostatic solar and stellar burning, to the slow and rapid neutron-capture processes, to neutrino nucleosynthesis, and to explosive hydrogen burning. Special emphasis is given to the weak-interaction processes associated with core-collapse supernovae. Despite some significant progress, important improvements are still warranted. Such improvements are expected to come from future radioactive ion-beam facilities.
