The impact of individual nuclear properties on $r$-process nucleosynthesis

TL;DR: A review of recent sensitivity studies of the rapid neutron capture process can be found in this article, which summarizes the extent of such sensitivity studies and highlights how these studies play a key role in facilitating new insight into the r-process nucleosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

r-Process Nucleosynthesis in Hot Accretion Disk Flows from Black Hole - Neutron Star Mergers

TL;DR: In this article, the neutrino and antineutrino fluxes emitted from the resulting accretion disk were calculated and the nucleosynthesis conditions required for the production of r-process nuclei stem directly from the interactions of neutrinos emitted by the disk with the free neutrons and protons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleosynthesis in the Outflow from Gamma-Ray Burst Accretion Disks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the nucleosynthesis products that are produced in the outflow from rapidly accreting disks and find that the type of element synthesis varies dramatically with the degree of neutrino trapping in the disk and therefore the accretion rate of the disk.

Fundamental Physics at the Intensity Frontier

J.L. Hewett, +466 more
TL;DR: The 2011 Workshop on Fundamental Physics at the Intensity Frontier as discussed by the authors identified and described opportunities at the intensity frontier in the areas of heavy quarks, charged leptons, neutrinos, proton decay, new light weakly-coupled particles, and nucleons, nuclei, and atoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active-sterile neutrino transformation solution for r -process nucleosynthesis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss how matter-enhanced active-sterile neutrino transformation in the NE channels could enable the production of the rapid neutron capture $(r$-process) nuclei in neutrinos-heated supernova ejecta.
