Neutrino Effects in Nucleosynthesis

Abstract

The nucleosynthesis within a Type II supernova occurs in an intense neutrino flux. I discuss some of the effects associated with neutrino interactions, including direct synthesis in the neutrino process, the role of neutrinos in controlling the r-process path and in postprocessing r-process products, and neutrino oscillation connections.
