One of the most compelling pieces of evidence of the Hot Big Bang model is the realisation and confirmation that some nuclides were created shortly after the Big Bang. This process is referred to as Big Bang nucleosynthesis (or, sometimes, primordial nucleosynthesis), and is the end-product of putting neutrons and protons in a hot, expanding Universe ...

The building blocks of the universe
HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies, 2021 I review the state of knowledge of the composition of the universe for a non-specialist audience. The universe is built up of four components. These are radiation, baryonic (ordinary) matter, dark matter and dark energy.

Neutrino nucleosynthesis [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 2005 We study neutrino process nucleosynthesis in massive stars using newly calculated cross sections, an expanded reaction network, and complete and self-consistent models of the progenitor star. We reevaluate the production of light isotopes from abundant progenitors as well as that of rare, heavy, proton-rich isotopes.

Solar data uncertainty impacts on MCMC methods for r-process nucleosynthesis
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 In recent work, we developed a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure to predict the ground state masses capable of forming the observed Solar r-process rare-earth abundance peak.

Hypernovae and their nucleosynthesis [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2003 We review the characteristics of nucleosynthesis in ‘hypernovae’, i.e., core-collapse supernovae with very large explosion energies (≳ 1052 ergs). The hypernova yields show the following characteristics: (i) the mass ratio between the complete and incomplete Si burning regions is larger in hypernovae than normal supernovae.

Experiments probing clustering effects in explosive nucleosynthesis
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 Nuclear clustering affects the nucleosynthesis occurring in a number of astrophysical environments. Highly-clusterized nuclear states typically occur near particle thresholds and therefore can produce dramatic impacts on the nuclear reaction rates.
