... The time scale for achieving, and then subsequent decay, from peak temperatures in X-Ray bursts is of the order ~ 10 seconds or so. If the matter flow piles up at a waiting point nucleus whose effective lifetime never gets below ~10 s, the explosion and nucleosynthesis will stall and “fizzle”. ...

P-nuclei
p-Nuclei (p stands for proton-rich) are certain proton-rich, naturally occurring isotopes of some elements between selenium and mercury which cannot be produced in either s- or r-process.
