Proton capture

'''Proton capture''' is a [[nuclear reaction]] in which an [[atomic nucleus]] and one or more [[proton]]s collide and merge to form a heavier nucleus.

Since neutrons have positive electric charge, they can enter a nucleus more hardly than neutrally charged [[neutron]]s, which aren't repelled [[Electrostatics|electrostatically]].

Proton capture plays an important role in the cosmic [[nucleosynthesis]] of proton rich isotopes. In stars it can proceed in two ways: as a rapid ([[rp-process]]) or a slow process ([[p-process]]).
