Description
The problem of astrophysical site(s) for the r-process is still shrouded in mystery despite more than a half century of studies. Although neutrino driven winds have been considered to be the most likely success, recent supernova simulations show that it is seriously difficult to achieve suitable conditions for r-process in the environment. I will talk about new ideas for the r-process astronomical sites. I will show the results of r-process nucleosynthesis based on the core-collapse supernova senario via the Quark-hadron phase transition during the early post-bounce phase. In addition, I also want to briefly remark the progress and preliminary results of r-process studies for magnetically driven core-collapse supernovae.
