Abundance of live 244Pu in deep-sea reservoirs on Earth points to rarity of actinide nucleosynthesis
2015
The build-up of short-lived nuclides in the interstellar medium tells us about production frequency and yield of heavy elements by nucleosynthesis. Wallner et al. find a low abundance of live interstellar 244Pu detected from the deep-sea floor, suggesting a rarity for r-process nucleosynthesis sites.
