Which outcome occurs when high-energy gamma radiation exceeds photodisintegration threshold in stellar nucleosynthesis?

💡 Explanation

High-energy gamma rays break nuclei apart, therefore photodisintegration weakens nuclear binding energies during nucleosynthesis, resulting in a decreased abundance of heavy elements, rather than heavier isotope formation, because the nuclei fragment under the gamma radiation.
