Difference between Alpha process and Nucleosynthesis

Alpha process vs. Nucleosynthesis

The alpha process, also known as the alpha ladder, is one of two classes of nuclear fusion reactions by which stars convert helium into heavier elements, the other being the triple-alpha process. Nucleosynthesis is the process that creates new atomic nuclei from pre-existing nucleons, primarily protons and neutrons.

Similarities between Alpha process and Nucleosynthesis

Alpha process and Nucleosynthesis have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atomic number, Carbon, Endothermic process, Helium, Iron, Magnesium, Metallicity, Nickel, Nuclear fusion, Nucleon, Silicon-burning process, Triple-alpha process, Type II supernova.

Atomic number

The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom.

Nuclear fusion

In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come close enough to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).

Nucleon

In chemistry and physics, a nucleon is either a proton or a neutron, considered in its role as a component of an atomic nucleus.

Silicon-burning process

In astrophysics, silicon burning is a very brief sequence of nuclear fusion reactions that occur in massive stars with a minimum of about 8-11 solar masses.

Triple-alpha process

The triple-alpha process is a set of nuclear fusion reactions by which three helium-4 nuclei (alpha particles) are transformed into carbon.

Type II supernova

A Type II supernova (plural: supernovae or supernovas) results from the rapid collapse and violent explosion of a massive star.

Alpha process and Nucleosynthesis Comparison

Alpha process has 34 relations, while Nucleosynthesis has 119. As they have in common 13, the Jaccard index is 8.50% = 13 / (34 + 119).
