- Abundances relating to Z number
Hello
I have been reading about the s-process and r-process in star evolution. And one thing i briefly saw mentioned was that both processes generally create higher abundances of elements with even number of protons than odd.
It however did not explain why there is a slight bias towards even number of protons. What is the explanation for this ?
