Abstract
This is the chapter in which we will put all the things we have been discussing together, along with a few new entities, to form the SNAAP model. This will necessarily involve several important aspects of supernova astrophysics, some neutrino physics, interactions of neutrinos with nuclei, some basic nuclear physics, some physics conservation laws, and fi nally, some properties of Wolf-Rayet stars and of red giants. Along the way, I’ll try to give you some interesting facts about some of the entities we encounter, especially the neutrinos.
