... Six protons are used in the series of reactions but two are released back. Other products include the He-4 nucleus, 2 neutrinos, 2 high-energy gamma photons and 2 positrons. Each of these products carries some of the energy released from the slight reduction in total mass of the system. 4H-1 → He-4 ...
