Subject has location has reaction has required reactant concentration is a kind of has part intermediate product has minimum mass has catalyst has synonym has definition has discovered date has part catalyst has optimum temperature has temperature dependence produces energy has minimum temperature has next higher temperature reaction

carbon cycle ¹²C(p, γ) ¹³N(p, γ) ¹⁴O(β⁺ν) ¹⁴N(p, γ) ¹⁵O(β⁺ν) ¹⁵N(p, α) ¹²C hydrogen burning 1.5 solar masses carbon, nitrogen and oxygen CNO cycle Use of carbon and nitrogen as intermediates in the nuclear fusion process of the Sun. Cooler stars undergo the proton-proton cycle. 1938 oxygen E ∝ T¹⁵ 26.7 MeV 15 to 20 million Kelvin helium burning

proton-proton chain the center of the Sun an other stars high pycnonuclear reaction tritium 0.08 solar masses p-p chain 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. 5 million Kelvin E ∝ T⁴ 10⁷ K carbon cycle
