Nucleosynthesis of Nuclear Matter: Entropy Effects

Abstract

The work considers an alternative way of formation of chemical elements during the disintegration of nuclear matter formed during the explosion of stars. In addition to the energy parameters that determine the stability of nuclear matter and the ways of its disintegration, the entropy factor must also be considered. The calculation points to its extreme feature in the transition from symmetric to structured or asymmetric decay caused by the “inclusion” of quantum effects from nuclear shells.
