Scientific paper

Core-collapse supernovae are one of the major engines governing the evolution of metals in galaxies. Difficulties in numerically modeling these explosions and their potential sensitivity to unknown neutrino physics are among the uncertainties that are currently slowing progress. I describe some of the issues, including the potential consequences of dense seas of trapped neutrinos and of the unknown 1-3 neutrino mixing angle.
Nucleosynthesis -such as the r-process and the neutrino-process -are useful diagnostics of the explosion. I describe recent observations that may help us better define the explosive environments responsible for such nucleosynthesis.
