Abstract

Based on the steady state equilibrium condition for neutron-proton-electron-positron gas in the neutrino-driven wind from protoneutron star, we estimate the initial electron fraction in the wind in a simple and effective way. We find that the condition in the wind might be propriate for the r-process nucleosynthesis.
