Table 1: Summarised descriptions of the main GDCE model parameters.
Parameter Short description
k Small positive integer used to parametrize the mass
  infall rate F.
$\Delta$ Time after the start of stellar formation, after which
  delayed-production elements start being ejected.
$\omega$ Efficiency of interstellar gas conversion into stars.
u0 Arbitrary parameter in the mass infall rate F.
u1 Time of transition between simple and Clayton
  model, multiplied by $\omega$.
u2 Time when residue formation becomes efficient,
  multiplied by $\omega$.
$u_{T_{{\rm G}}}$ Age of the Galactic disk, multiplied by $\omega$.
j IMF slope corresponding to residues that evaporate.
$\Gamma$ Dilution of ISM due to residue evaporation.
$f_{1~{\rm Fe}}$ Fe yield divided by Fe solar abundance today
  (prompt contribution).
$f_{2~{\rm Fe}}$ Fe yield divided by Fe solar abundance today
  (delayed contribution).
$f_{{\rm total~Eu}}$ Eu yield divided by Eu solar abundance today.
$f_{1~{\rm Eu}}$ Prompt contribution of $f_{{\rm total~Eu}}$.
$f_{2~{\rm Eu}}$ Delayed contribution of $f_{{\rm total~Eu}}$.
$f_{1~{\rm Th}}$ Th yield divided by Th solar abundance today.
$\chi $ Relation between $f_{1~{\rm Th}}$ and $f_{{\rm total~Eu}}$.
