Effect of Finite-Temperature $\beta$-Decay Rates on the Rapid Neutron Capture Process

Yukiya Saito, Ante Ravlić, Pranav Nalamwar +1

$\beta$-decay is known to play an essential role in the rapid neutron capture process ($r$-process) during $(n,\gamma )\leftrightarrow (\gamma ,n)$ equilibrium and freeze-out when the neutron-r…
