 There are many uncertainties in our understanding of core-collapse supernovae, including the explosion mechanism and nucleosynthesis. ​ One way to gain insight into these phenomena is to study the nucleosynthesis of radioactive isotopes in the shock-heated material. ​ These isotopes, such as <​sup>​44</​sup>​Ti and <​sup>​56</​sup>​Ni,​ determine the features of the supernova light curve. ​ Observations of supernova remnants can be used to put bounds on the production of these isotopes. There are many uncertainties in our understanding of core-collapse supernovae, including the explosion mechanism and nucleosynthesis. ​ One way to gain insight into these phenomena is to study the nucleosynthesis of radioactive isotopes in the shock-heated material. ​ These isotopes, such as <​sup>​44</​sup>​Ti and <​sup>​56</​sup>​Ni,​ determine the features of the supernova light curve. ​ Observations of supernova remnants can be used to put bounds on the production of these isotopes.

 +==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.
