Scientific paper

Electron capture rates and the corresponding neutrino energy loss rates of matter in nuclear statistical equilibrium are calculated in the framework of the so-called gross theory of beta decay. The rate of change of the mean molecular weight per electron and the rate of the total neutrino energy loss are then determined for various combinations of density, temperature and mean molecular weight in the ranges: log of density of 8.5-11.0 g/cu cm; log of temperature of 9.4-10.3 K; and mean molecular weight per electron of 2.10-2.25. These values are relevant to stellar material in the early stage of a supernova explosion.
