Alpha-capture Processes

Alpha-Capture Processes is a nuclear reaction mechanism in nucleosynthesis whereby an atomic nucleus captures an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) to form a heavier nucleus, predominantly occurring in stellar environments at high temperatures and contributing to the synthesis of elements beyond iron.
