Heavy element synthesis in the Universe
Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
UCSC
Although the general picture of element formation is well understood,
many questions about the nuclear physics processes and particularly the
astrophysical details responsible for forming about half of the heaviest
elements in the Universe remain to be answered. Finding out whether
they can be made in cataclysmic events requires extensive astronomical
observation and sophisticated computer modeling.
