Following Fission Products in Explosive Astrophysical Environments by Sprouse T. M., Mumpower M. R., Surman R.

“…The astrophysical process by which the heaviest elements are formed in the universe is known as the rapid neutron capture process, or r process, of nucleosynthesis. The r process is characterized by the neutron capture and β− decay of short-lived, neutron-rich atomic nuclei; in suitably extreme environments, nuclear fission can also play a major role in determining the ensuing nucleosynthesis. …”

Dark nuclei. I. Cosmology and indirect detection by Detmold, William, Pochinsky, Andrew, McCullough, Matthew P.

“…For asymmetric dark matter, dark nucleosynthesis may alter the capture of dark matter in stars, allowing for captured particles to be processed into nuclei and ejected from the star through dark nucleosynthesis in the core. …”

The Influence of Nuclear Reactions and Nuclear Structure in Astrophysics by Rehm K. E.

“…Nuclear reactions play an important role for the energy production and the nucleosynthesis in stars. New facilities, able to accelerate radioactive nuclei or high-intensity stable beams have allowed us to measure in the laboratory reactions involving short-lived nuclei or processes with very small cross sections, which are crucial for stellar nucleosynthesis. …”

Constraints on ultralight scalar dark matter with quadratic couplings by Thomas Bouley, Philip Sørensen, Tien-Tien Yu

“…In this work, we examine the impact of quadratically-coupled ultralight dark matter on the predictions of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. The presence of ultralight dark matter can modify the effective values of fundamental constants during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, modifying the predicted abundances of the primordial elements such as Helium-4. …”
