Nucleosynthesis is the process of creating new atomic nuclei
from preexisting nucleons (protons and neutrons). The primordial
preexisting nucleons were formed from the quark-gluon plasma of
the Big Bang as it cooled below ten million degrees. This first
process may be called nucleogenesis, the genesis of nucleons in
the universe. The subsequent nucleosynthesis of the elements
(including all carbon, all oxygen, etc.) occurs primarily in
stars either by nuclear fusion or nuclear fission. For more
