  This chapter discusses three nucleosynthesis processes involved in producing
heavy nuclei beyond the iron group that are influenced or shaped by neutrino
interactions: the v process, the vp process and the r process. These processes
are all related to explosive events involving compact objects, such as
core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star mergers, where an abundant
amount of neutrinos are emitted. The interactions of the neutrinos with
nucleons and nuclei through both charged-current and neutral-current reactions
play a crucial role in the nucleosynthesis processes. During the propagation of
neutrinos inside the nucleosynthesis sites, neutrinos may undergo flavor
oscillations that can also potentially affect the nucleosynthesis yields. Here
we provide a general overview of the possible effects of neutrinos and neutrino
flavor conversions on these three heavy-element nucleosynthesis processes.
