Scientific paper

We review the literature to derive estimates for the abundances of the four "alpha" elements' abundances relative to iron [O/Fe], [Si/Fe], [Ca/Fe], and [Ti/Fe], as a function of [Fe/H] and age, in the globular clusters. Magnesium is under-studied, and is depleted in some metal-poor cluster giants, and hence is not useful for study. While [O/Fe] values within clusters vary, due to mixing of ON cycle material into their photospheres, consideration of only those stars with low sodium abundances, [Na/Fe]
