Nucleosynthesis in Neutron Stars Crust
Journal Title: Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
We address the problem of the origin of heavier and super heavy elements in nature. Believing rapid neutron capture process (r-process) is responsible for synthesis of heavy and super heavy elements in the remnants of supernovae explosions and neutron star crusts under extreme conditions, we developed a computer code in order to understand the formation of elements in extreme astrophysical systems. We carried out Nuclear Statistical equilibrium (NSe) as well as static r-process calculations for a wide range of input parameters.

Higgs Sector with Spontaneous CP Violation in S(3) Standard Model
Conditions for spontaneous Charge-Parity (CP) violation in the scalar potential sector of general S(3) Higgs-doublet model (3HDM) are analyzed. An analysis of the Higgs sector of the minimal S(3)-invariant extension of t...
Energy Dependence of Parameters Characterizing Multiply Backscattering of Gamma Photons
The present studies aimed to investigate the effects of energy dependence of parameters characterizing multiply backscattering of gamma photons. The numbers of multiply backscattered events are found to be increasing wit...
Quantum Effects on the Linear Dispersion Characteristics in Electron-Positron Plasma
In electron-positron plasmas some of the plasma modes are decoupled due to the equal charge to mass ratio of both species. The dispersion properties of the propagation of linear waves in degenerate electron–positron magn...
X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis of Ground Coffee.
Coffee is becoming one of the most popular beverages in Mexico. In the present work, X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) was used to determine the contents of several elements (with atomic numbers between 11 and 38) in 11 samples o...
Emanation Study of Gas Radon on the Ancient Cuexcomate Geyser in Puebla City, Mexico
Radon measurements were collected over a period of nine months in the area of the ancient Cuexcomate geyser, in Puebla City. For measuring radon, the passive method of nuclear tracks in solids was used, using polycarbona...
