✦ Synopsis

We review the nuclear physics input necessary for the study of the collapse of massive stars as precursor to supernova explosions. Recent theoretical advances for the calculation of the relevant weak-interaction processes and their influence in the collapse and postbounce dynamics are discussed. Future improvements are expected to come with the advent of radioactive ion-beam facilities.

Radioactive nuclear beams offer the possibility of studying the detailed properties of nuclei far away from stability. This manuscript gives a review of the main weak-interaction processes involving nuclei relevant for core collapse supernovae. Special emphasis is given to the necessity of constrain

Although simulations of the core-collapse supernova mechanism have not yet converged on a final answer, much of the intuition gained from these simulations can change our current picture of supernova nucleosynthesis. Here we review the basic supernova explosion mechanism with an update on the curren

We present a new mechanism for core-collapse supernova explosions that relies upon acoustic power generated in the inner core as the driver. In our simulation using an 11-solar-mass progenitor, a strong advective-acoustic oscillation a `la Foglizzo with a period of 25-30 ms arises 200 ms after bounc
