Description
The radioactive isotope $^{10}$Be is among those that have been present when the solar system formed. We review the production of this isotope in core-collapse supernovae via the $\nu$-process considering results from modern multi-dimensional simulations, as well as the sensitivity to nuclear reactions.
Recent nuclear experiments suggest that the cross-section of the most important destructive reaction, $^{10}$Be(p,$\alpha$)$^7$Li, is higher than previously assumed, significantly reducing the expected production of $^{10}$Be by supernovae.
