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.

+ | ==Initial Abundances and Y$_{e}$== | ||
+ | For any given peak temperature and density, our initial composition was pure $^{28}$Si (therefore Y$_{e}$ = .5) In order to change the initial Y$_{e}$, we just added protons or neutrons to the initial composition according to the following equations: | ||
+ | |||
+ | \begin{equation} | ||
+ | X(^{28}Si) = 1 - \left | 2Y_{e} - 1 \right | \\ | ||
+ | X(p) = \left | 2Y_{e} - 1 \right | \hspace{1cm} X(n) = \left | 2Y_{e} - 1 \right | \\ | ||
+ | proton-rich \hspace{1cm} neutron-rich | ||
+ | \end{equation} | ||
Finally we looked at the mass fraction of several isotopes. In particular, $^{4}$He, $^{28}$Si, $^{44}$Ti, and $^{56}$Ni. We then compare our results to that of Magkotsios //et al// with in our parameter space. | Finally we looked at the mass fraction of several isotopes.
