Scientific paper

This manuscript discusses recent progress in our understanding of the nucleosynthesis of medium and heavy elements in supernovae. Recent hydrodynamical models of core-collapse supernovae show that at early times large amounts of proton rich matter is ejected under strong neutrino fluxes. This matter constitutes the site of the vp-process where antineutrino absorption reactions catalyze the nucleosynthesis of nuclei with A>64. At later times, the ejected matter becomes neutron-rich and might be the site for the r-process. The sensitivity of the r-process to the nuclear physics input is discussed.
