On the relation between the production of energy and the composition of matter in a steady universe

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

It is shown how a relation between the rate of nucleosynthesis, as measured by the energy generation in the stars, and the cosmical abundance of composite nuclei holds for every stationary model of the universe. On the basis of the present experimental data, it seems rather improbable that this relation is satisfied in our actual universe.

Riassunto

Viene mostrato come in ogni teoria stazionaria dell’universo sussista una relazione tra la generazione di energia nelle stelle, indice della velocità di nucleosintesi, e l’abbondanza cosmica di nuclei composti. L’analisi dei dati sperimentali mostra che è assai improbabile che tale relazione sia soddisfatta nel nostro attuale universo.
