Scientific paper

Convection takes place behind the shock front if and when the strength of the shock declines. However, the convection does not strengthen the shock but weakens it. It is therefore useless for promoting an early explosion (at times of order 10 ms). At late times (several tenths of a second), convection may take place behind the neutrino sphere and may increase the strength of the late shock caused by neutrino heating.
