Tellurium

I revised the sentence which claimed that lighter isotopes of Tellurium are thought to be stable and added the comment that they could potentially be proton-bound. A quick visit to the National Nuclear Data Center's chart of nuclei [1] makes it apparent that 105Te is already quite far from stability itself. I have little justification for including the possibility of lighter Te isotopes being proton bound, however I believe it is justifiable seeing as the proton drip line is territory on the frontier of nuclear physics. While the presence of theoretical thermonuclear reaction rate data [2] (for example: [3]) does not necessarily indicate a nucleus is bound, it does indicate that physicists believe an isotope might have some finite lifetime.--Potentialwell (talk) 19:33, 13 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

This is a reasonable edit. Probably I authored "stable" for these proton-rich Te isotopes meaning proton-bound, which was not as clear as it could be, since I had assumed that these are all known to be beta-decayers (and that the rp-process is running entirely in the beta-plus-unstable zone).

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Rp-process/CommentsTalk:Rp-process/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

This article was a stub in late 2006, and I marked it at that time for an article I would like to improve upon. Since then, it has had some moderate additions, but I recently went through each section and typed up a technically accurate, yet reader friendly and well-linked revision. I would like to see more citations on this article in the future. I apologize for not citing my sources for this information, as it is the subject of my current research, and all this information floats around in my head without citations, so I will make an effort to fix this in the future.
