摘要:
Nuclear physics plays an essential role in the dynamics of a type II supernova (a collapsing star). Recent advances in nuclear many-body theory allow us now to calculate the stellar weak-interaction processes involving nuclei. The most important process is the electron capture on finite nuclei with mass numbers A > 55. This process is the source of neutrinos during the collapse phase. Neutrino-nucleus reactions occur during the collapse. They also play an interesting role during the supernova nucleosynthesis. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
