- who: E. M. Holmbeck from the The Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science, Pasadena, CA, USA have published the paper: Nucleosynthesis and observation of the heaviest elements, in the Journal: Eur. Phys. J. A
- what: The authors provide a synopsis of the production and destruction mechanisms of these heavy species in particular the actinides and superheavies and discuss these heavy in relation to the astrophysical r process. Any prospect for the production of the (super)heavy elements would necessarily proceed via rapid neutron-capture nucleosynthesis (or the u2018r process`), a concept which the authors . . .
