  2. Nuclear triad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_triad

    Israel is known to have nuclear-capable aircraft and land-base missiles, with the addition of nuclear-armed submarines this would mean that they now have a full triad of land-, air-, and sea-based nuclear delivery systems [18] some of which would be invulnerable to a first strike by an enemy for the first time in their country's history. No ...

  3. Cosmic ray spallation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray_spallation

    The stable nuclides of lithium, beryllium, and boron found on Earth are thought to have been formed by the same process as the cosmogenic nuclides but at an earlier time in cosmic ray spallation predominantly before the Solar System's formation, and thus they are by definition primordial nuclides and not cosmogenic.

  4. Nuclear astrophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_astrophysics

    Nuclear properties can be obtained from terrestrial nuclear laboratories such as accelerators with their experiments. Theory and simulations are needed to understand and complement such data, providing models for nuclear reaction rates under the variety of cosmic conditions, and for the structure and dynamics of cosmic objects.

  5. Big Bang nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang_nucleosynthesis

    In physical cosmology, Big Bang nucleosynthesis (also known as primordial nucleosynthesis, and abbreviated as BBN) [1] is a model for the production of light nuclei, deuterium, 3 He, 4 He, 7 Li, between 0.01s and 200s in the lifetime of the universe. [2] The model uses a combination of thermodynamic arguments and results from equations for the ...

  6. Nucleosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosynthesis

    Nucleosynthesis is the process that creates new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons (protons and neutrons) and nuclei. According to current theories, the first nuclei were formed a few minutes after the Big Bang, through nuclear reactions in a process called Big Bang nucleosynthesis. [1]

  7. Physical cosmology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_cosmology

    Physical cosmology is a branch of cosmology concerned with the study of cosmological models. A cosmological model, or simply cosmology, provides a description of the largest-scale structures and dynamics of the universe and allows study of fundamental questions about its origin, structure, evolution, and ultimate fate. [1]

  8. Island of stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability

    This theory of a nuclear shell model originates in the 1930s, but it was not until 1949 that German physicists Maria Goeppert Mayer and Johannes Hans Daniel Jensen et al. independently devised the correct formulation. [26] The numbers of nucleons for which shells are filled are called magic numbers. Magic numbers of 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and 126 ...
