Nuclear Input for Core-collapse Models

Abstract

We review the nuclear physics input necessary for the study of the collapse of massive stars as precursor to supernova explosions. Recent theoretical advances for the calculation of the relevant weak-interaction processes and their influence in the collapse and postbounce dynamics are discussed. Future improvements are expected to come with the advent of radioactive ion-beam facilities.
