• Use an analytic formulation of the neutrino driven wind environment in core-collapse supernova to determine the conditions for the r-process. Calculate, using the reaction network X-Net, abundance patterns for various values of the electron fraction and compare the robustness of the r-process in this environment.

We used the thermodynamic trajectories described in Panov & Janka (2009) to describe the evolution of the neutrino driven winds in core-collapse supernovae. The free parameters in these trajectories are the initial temperatures and densities as well as the electron fraction.
