摘要
We investigate nucleosynthesis in the supernova post-core bounce neutrino-driven wind environment in the presence of active-sterile neutrino transformation. We consider active-sterile neutrino oscillations for a range of mixing parameters: vacuum mass-squared differences of 0.1 eV(2)<=delta m(2)<= 100 eV(2), and vacuum mixing angles of sin(2)2 theta(v)>= 10(-4). We find a consistent r-process pattern for a large range of mixing parameters that is in rough agreement with the halo star CS 22892-052 abundances and the pattern shape is determined by fission cycling. We find that the allowed region for the formation of the r-process peaks overlaps the liquid scintillator neutron detector (LSND) and null-short baseline (NSBL) (3+1) allowed region.
