Enhanced Nuclear Binding near the Proton Drip Line Opens Possible Bypass of the 64Ge Rapid Proton Capture Process Waiting Point

We performed astrophysics model calculations with updated nuclear data to identify a possible bypass of the ^64 Ge waiting point, a defining feature of the rapid proton capture (rp) process that powers type I X-ray bursts on accreting neutron stars. We find that the rp-process flow through the ^64 G...
