We have chosen to do a parameter space study in peak temperature, density, and electron fraction, tarting with a set parameter space of peak temperatures [T<sub>9</sub> = 4 - 7] and densities [$\rho$ = 10<sup>5</sup> - 10<sup>7</sup> g/cm<sup>3</sup>] for three values of the electron fraction [Y<sub>e</sub> = 0.45, 0.50, 0.55]. This parameter space roughly corresponds with the shock heated region in simulations of Cassiopeia A-like supernovae (Young & Fryer 2007). | We have chosen to do a parameter space study in peak temperature, density, and electron fraction, tarting with a set parameter space of peak temperatures [T<sub>9</sub> = 4 - 7] and densities [$\rho$ = 10<sup>5</sup> - 10<sup>7</sup> g/cm<sup>3</sup>] for three values of the electron fraction [Y<sub>e</sub> = 0.45, 0.50, 0.55].

We use analytic adiabatic freeze-out trajectories (Hoyle et al. 1964; Fowler & Hoyle 1964) which satisfy the differential equations: | We use analytic adiabatic freeze-out trajectories (Hoyle et al. 1964; Fowler & Hoyle 1964) which satisfy the differential equations: | ||

+ | ==Reaction Network == | ||
We used the [[https://wikihost.nscl.msu.edu/talent/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=xnet_public.zip|XNet]] reaction network code. Our code included 447 isotopes ranging from hydrogen through germanium. We took the reaction rates from the [[https://groups.nscl.msu.edu/jina/reaclib/db/library.php?action=viewsnapshots|JINA Reaclib database]]. We set the threshold temperature for NSE to be 5 GK. | We used the [[https://wikihost.nscl.msu.edu/talent/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=xnet_public.zip|XNet]] reaction network code.
