-
A.
Bethe–Weizsäcker cycle
The Bethe–Weizsäcker cycle is a nuclear fusion process in stars, particularly massive ones, where hydrogen is converted into helium through a catalytic cycle involving carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen nuclei.
-
B.
Oppenheimer–Phillips process
The Oppenheimer–Phillips process is a nuclear reaction mechanism in which a deuteron interacting with a target nucleus effectively transfers its neutron while the proton is repelled, enabling certain reactions to occur at lower energies than would otherwise be required.
-
C.
Nucleogenesis (Part Two)
"Nucleogenesis (Part Two)" is an extended progressive rock instrumental piece by the band Albedo 0.39, known for its atmospheric, space-themed soundscapes and complex arrangements.
-
D.
big bang nucleosynthesis
Big bang nucleosynthesis is the early-universe process, occurring within the first few minutes after the Big Bang, in which light atomic nuclei such as hydrogen, helium, and small amounts of other elements were formed.
