W. Udo Schröder, 2007 Applications Nuclear Space Technology Sojourner Pathfinder Mars explorer Radiation detector Nuclear radiation detectors are used in explorations of the sun and its planets. Space vehicles use them to detect and identify directly emitted or back-scattered radiation. Surface materials on Mars have been analyzed with activation methods using radioactive sources. 2

W. Udo Schröder, 2007 Applications Nucleosynthesis r-p process (rapid-proton capture) produces heavy elements. r process (rapid-neutron capture) Strong T dependence Details of nuclear structure and stability and the conditions at formation (star, Big Bang) account for the natural abundance of elements. Much of the information needed is not yet known  Task of future experiments. reaction path 4

W. Udo Schröder, 2007 Applications Too many heavy elements for production in solar burning processes. Temperature is too low in solar interior ( T 9 = K,  = 158 g/cm 3 ). Sun is result of evolution through several stellar life cycles (accretion of interstellar dust, ignition, burning, collapse and explosion) Abundance of Solar Elements 5
