The CNO Cycle
Gives way around need for p n
during the collision
Still must happen later � but don�t
need to rare events simultaneously
Trade off is need for higher energy
collisions(T>16 million K)
Add p to some nucleus where new
one is still �stable�
Wait for p n while that nucleus
just �sits around�
The net effect is still�� 41H 4He
C just acts like a �catalyst�
