Modern core-collapse supernova nucleosynthesis

Massive stars and their core-collapse supernovae are key contributors to the evolution and chemical enrichment of galaxies. Despite over 50 years of research, the explosion mechanism of core-collapse supernovae is still not fully understood, which hinders nucleosynthesis predictions. In a previous, proof-of-principle study, we have established a modern method to induced explosions in spherically symmetric (otherwise non-exploding) simulations to calculate the nucleosynthesis. This method (PUSH method) includes two aspects that are crucial for nucleosynthesis: One, the mass cut is emerging from the simulation, consistently with the explosion energy. And two, neutrino-interactions with matter are included. In this talk, I will discuss the nucleosynthesis predictions from our PUSH models and put the results in the context of other nucleosynthesis predictions
