Scientific paper

The production of heavy nuclei during explosive helium burning was calculated using a hydrodynamical model of a 15 Mo (Type II) supernovae and a "n-process" nuclear reaction network. The resulting neutron-rich heavy nuclei were not produced in the relative abundances of solar-system r-process material, especially in the vicinity of Pt, nor are any actinides produced. These deficiencies reflect an inadequate supply of neutrons. However some neutron-rich isotopes, normally associated with the r-process, were produced which may be significant for the production of isotopic anomalies in meteorites.
