e capture during core collapse
nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) has many nucleiwith significant abundances
reduction of Ye depends on the product of nuclearabundance & the corresponding e-capture rate
decreasing Ye changes NSE composition to favormore n-rich nuclei
when Z<40 & N>40 nuclei have significant abundances,more sophisticated shell model calculations needed,
but computational capability forces alternative:Random Phase Approximation (RPA)
Friday, April 30, 2010
Independent ParticleShell Model gives noGT strength for e capture on nuclei
with Z<40 & N>40
but finite temperature& residual interaction
lead to unblocking
