Abstract

We study neutrino process nucleosynthesis in massive stars using newly calculated cross sections, an expanded reaction network, and complete and self-consistent models of the progenitor star. We reevaluate the production of light isotopes from abundant progenitors as well as that of rare, heavy, proton-rich isotopes. In particular, new results are given for B11, F19, La138, and Ta180. The production of these isotopes places limits on neutrino spectrum and oscialltions.
