C and O explosive nucleosynthesis in SNII coupled to multidimensional hydrodynamics

We investigate carbon, neon and oxygen burning in core collapse supernovae by coupling a tracer particle method to one-dimensional Eulerian hydrodynamic calculations. Adopting the most recently available experimental and theoretical nuclear data, we compute the nucleosynthetic yields by post-processing the temperature and density history of advected tracer particles. To verify the method for its future application to multidimensional calculations, we compare our results to ID calculations recently published in the literature.
