Making Heavier Metals
... A second possibility follows a more "peaceful" road. It takes place in rather normal stars, when they burn their Helium towards the end of their lives. In the so-called "s-process" ("s" for slow), heavier elements are then produced by a rather gentle addition of neutral neutrons to atomic nuclei. In ...
