10 Modeling Supernova R-Process Supernovae are the most spectacular events since the Big-Bang, yet they are still poorly understood in their dynamics. Details are important. QuickTime and a YUV420 codec decompressor are needed to see this picture. 10

11 Collapse of the Core Prompt core bounce E(iron core) ~ GM 2 /r ~ erg E(neutron star) ~ GM 2 /r ~ erg E(neutron star) - E(iron core) ~ erg 99% is emitted as neutrinos! E(shock) ~ erg 1% is kinetic energy! Usually the shock is absorbed by dissociating the iron core. Neutrino-heated explosion DELAYED SUPERNOVA 11

12 Steps to a Core Collapse Supernova Stars with M ~ M build up an Fe/Ni core. Maximum core size M ch =5 Y e2 M ~ 1.3 M (Electron Capture). Collapse Separates, inner homologous (v r) core = 1.1 M. outer slowly collapsing core = 0.2 M. The central density increases and reaches nuclear matter density, ρ nucl ~ 2x10 14 g cm -3 (Nuclear EOS). 12

16 Steps to a Core Collapse Supernova Stars with M ~ M build up an Fe/Ni core. Maximum core size M ch =5Y e2 M ~ 1.3 M Collapse Separates, inner homologous (v r) core = 1.1 M. outer slowly collapsing core = 0.2 M. (Electron Capture). The central density increases and reaches nuclear matter density, ρ nucl ~ 2x10 14 g cm -3 (Nuclear EOS). An outward moving shock develops due to nuclear saturation. The shock dissociates the outer iron core into free nucleons. Neutrinos scatter off the heated material behind the shock and deposite energy into p, n, and e + e -. A high entropy heated region forms and begins to lift the outer layers of the star (neutrino-driven wind). 16

54 Conclusions Core-collapse supernovae are the viable astrophysical sites for the r-process nucleosynthesis. We still needs more precise nuclear physics data for light-to- Intermediate as well as heavy mass neutron-rich nuclei: Some new key reactions: α(αn,γ) 9 Be, α(t,γ) 7 Li, 7 Li(n,γ) 8 Li, 8 Li(α,n) 11 B Key data: S n, β-lives, ν-induced n-emission and fission rates. New concept of SEMI-WAITING: (n, γ) and (α, n) reactions are fast enough to wait for β-decay on 8 Li, 15 B, 16, 18 C, 24 O, We studied the neutrino cutoff effect due to the Black-Hole formation in core-collapse supernovae. The r-process drastically changes if τ dyn < t CUT, making maximal effect on the 232 Th and 235,238 U. Detection of this effect in SN1987A ejecta is highly desirable to find a signature for the Black Hole formation. 54
