Nucleosynthesis in the Big Bang and in Stars

摘要: The quest for the origin of elements is probably as old human attempts to understand world around us. While, during most our history, such questions were addressed within fields philosophy and theology, it has been only this century that a thoroughly scientific approach developed study questions. This inevitably includes field nuclear astrophysics, intersection physics from insights many great scientists, including Eddington, Gamow, Bethe, von Weizsucker and, little later, Hoyle Fowler. They realized processes are able generate energy stars over their lifetimes, in doing so, synthesize heavier hydrogen helium, main nuclides produced Big Bang, earliest, explosive period expanding universe.
