P-process
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Nuclear processes

Radioactive decay processes Alpha decay Beta decay Electron capture Gamma radiation Neutron emission Positron emission Proton emission Spontaneous fission Nucleosynthesis Neutron Capture The R-process The S-process Proton capture: The P-process

The P process is a proton capture process in the decay of radioactive elements. Contrast with S and R-processes. Isotope abundances suggest that the p-process is very rare astrophysically, with p-process isotopes having a much small abundance than those of the s-process or r-process.
