High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Neutron capture is a kind of nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus collides with one or more neutrons and they merge to form a heavier nucleus. Since neutrons have no electric charge, they can enter a nucleus more easily than charged particles which are repelled by electrostatic repulsion. Neutron capture plays an important role in the cosmic nucleosynthesis of heavy elements. In stars, it can proceed in two ways - as a rapid process (an r-process) or a slow process (an s-process). By neutron capture, nuclei of masses greater than 56 can be…mehr

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Neutron capture is a kind of nuclear reaction in which an atomic nucleus collides with one or more neutrons and they merge to form a heavier nucleus. Since neutrons have no electric charge, they can enter a nucleus more easily than charged particles which are repelled by electrostatic repulsion. Neutron capture plays an important role in the cosmic nucleosynthesis of heavy elements. In stars, it can proceed in two ways - as a rapid process (an r-process) or a slow process (an s-process). By neutron capture, nuclei of masses greater than 56 can be formed that could not be formed by thermonuclear reactions, i.e., by nuclear fusion.
