Description
The classical (n,gamma)-(gamma,n) phase of r-process nucleosynthesis is well understood. Less well understood is the complex freezeout phase during which the last of the free neutrons are consumed. I present some calculations using simplified nuclear physics to help characterize the r-process freezeout.
