 +\begin{equation} 
 +\rho(t) = \rho_{init} exp(-3 t/​\tau_{dyn}) 
 +\end{equation} 
 +\begin{equation} 
 +T_{9} (t) = T_{9}^{init} exp(-t/​\tau_{dyn}) 
 +\end{equation}  
 +where $\rho_{init}$ and $T_{9}^{init}$ are the initial density and temperature (in units of $10^{9}$K). ​ The dynamical timescale $\tau_{dyn}$ was taken to be 15ms. 
 + 
 +The deceleration by the reverse shock alter the density and temperature evolution from the previously assumed homologous behavior. ​ We assume that the deceleration occurs at time $t_{0} = 60$ms and the density and temperature reach values $\rho_{0}$ and $T_{0}$ after the shock. ​ The density and temperature decline less steeply than the previous exponential behavior, 
 +\begin{equation} 
 +\rho(t) = \rho_{0} \left(\frac{t}{t_{0}}\right)^{-2} 
 +\end{equation} 
 +\begin{equation} 
 +T(t) = T_{0} \left(\frac{t}{t_{0}}\right)^{-2/​3} 
 +\end{equation} 
 + 
 +The free parameters in these trajectories are the initial temperatures and densities as well as the electron fraction.  The initial temperature of 37Gk and initial density of $1\times 10^{9}$ g/cm${^3}$. The electron fraction was given values of 0.42, 0.44, 0.46, 0.48, and 0.50. 
 + 
 +We started the network calculation when the temperature reaches 10GK.  This is a safe approximation since above this temperature,​ the material will be in Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium and the evolution of the abundances will not be set by the thermal history. ​ We used a network of 4510 isotopes, ranging from free nucleons to fermium (Z=100).
