proton-proton chain pycnonuclear reaction An important nuclear fusion reaction that occurs in stars. It begins with the fusion of two hydrogen nuclei, each of which consists of a single proton.

PP II ¹H(p, β⁺v)²D(p, γ)³He(⁴He, γ)⁷Be(β⁺v)⁷Li(p,α)⁴He proton-proton chain A thermonuclear reaction in which hydrogen nuclei are transformed into helium nuclei. Although the neutrinos from this reaction are detectable, they have not been observed.
