Sensitivity studies for r-process nucleosynthesis in three astrophysical scenarios

In rapid neutron capture, or r-process, nucleosynthesis, heavy elements are built up via a sequence of neutron captures and β decays that involves thousands of nuclei far from stability. Though we understand the basics of how the r process proceeds, its astrophysical site is still not conclusively...
