Neutrino-induced nucleosynthesis in core-collapse supernovae

Abstract

Almost all of the 3 · 1053 ergs liberated in a core collapse supernova is radiated as neutrinos by the cooling neutron star. These neutrinos can excite nuclei in the mantle of the star by their neutral and charged current reactions. The resulting spallation reactions are an important nucleosynthesis mechanism that may be responsible for the galactic abundances of 7Li, 11B, 19F, 138La, 180Ta and a number of other nuclei.
