Description

Among the most difficult ingredients in models of neutron star mergers and core-collapse supernovae is the treatment of neutrinos. In this talk I will briefly summarize our understanding of the most important neutrino effects in the context of r-process nucleosynthesis and I will discuss a few recently proposed schemes and their pros and cons.
