SUMMARY:Neutrinos and the Origin of the Elements\, Physics Department 
 Colloquium\, Yong-Zhong Qian\, University of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:Neutrinos are important in driving the expansion of the un
 iverse shortly after the big bang and play dynamic roles in supernovae
 . They also determine the conditions for nucleosynthesis in these two 
 environments. Consequently\, big bang and supernova nucleosynthesis is
  a sensitive probe of the fundamental properties of neutrinos\, such a
 s the number of neutrino flavors and the parameters of neutrino oscill
 ations. This talk focuses on the supernova nucleosynthesis probe in vi
 ew of the recent major advances in experimental studies of neutrino os
 cillations and in astrophysical observations of elemental abundances. 
 The strong interplay among nuclear\, particle physics and astrophysics
  is emphasized.
