Magnetized Nuclei in the r-Process

The synthesis of ultramagnetized heavy atomic nuclei is considered. Such nuclei are formed during type II supernova explosions and neutron star mergers. In a magnetic field of 0.1–10 TT, the Zeeman effect leads to a linear nuclear magnetic response, which can be described in terms of magnetic susceptibility. Under the influence of magnetic fields, the path of the r-process changes with an increase in the fraction of nuclei with masses less than magic, as well as the volume of nuclides of smaller masses at the r-process peaks increases.
