Elemental Nucleosynthesis

Elemental Nucleosynthesis is a theoretical framework in astrophysics that describes the process by which new atomic nuclei are formed through nuclear fusion reactions in the extreme conditions following a supernova explosion, distinguishing it from primordial and stellar nucleosynthesis by its reliance on explosive nucleosynthetic pathways and shock-induced reactions.
