Download or read book R-process, The: The Astrophysical Origin Of The Heavy Elements And Related Rare Isotope Accelerator Physics - Procs Of The First Argonne/msu/jina/int Ria Workshop written by Yong-zhong Qian and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004-09-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The r-process is a major mechanism for producing elements heavier than Fe. In this book, a summary of recent developments in theoretical, experimental and observational studies of the r-process are presented in 25 contributions. The collected papers are up to date, comprehensive and yet concise. The topics covered include experiments on nuclei far from stability, nuclear theory input for the r-process, observational and theoretical studies on abundances of heavy nuclei, and astrophysical models of the r-process.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings) • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings) • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences
