The possibility of an equilibrium synthesis of iron-peaked elements, with atomic number between 22 and 30, is examined in terms of a model for a type II supernova explosion in which the degree of neutronization and the density-temperature relationship are determined by model calculations. The equilibrium concentrations of the elements are computed for a certain radial region of the star where the e-process ought to operate, with neutronization determined by the kinetics of the beta-processes. Results for an equilibrium temperature of 3.5 x 10 to the 9th K in the stellar region intermediate between the core, where r-process is thought to operate and the surface, in which explosive nucleosynthesis is present, are shown to agree well with cosmic abundances.
