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.

pep reaction once in 400 p-p reactions proton-proton chain A reaction occurring in the proton-proton chain which occurs only once in 400 p-p reactions but produces far more energetic neutrinos (1.44 MeV as against 0.42 MeV).
