The vp process is a primary nucleosynthesis process which occurs in core
collapse supernovae. An essential role in this process is being played by
electron antineutrinos. They generate, by absorption on protons, a supply of
neutrons which, by (n,p) reactions, allow to overcome waiting point nuclei with
rather long beta-decay and proton-capture lifetimes. The synthesis of heavy
elements by the vp process depends sensitively on the \bar{\nu}_e luminosity
and spectrum. As has been shown recently, the latter are affected by collective
neutrino flavor oscillations which can swap the \bar{\nu}_e and
\bar{\nu}_{\mu,\tau} spectra above a certain split energy. Assuming such a swap
scenario, we have studied the impact of collective neutrino flavor oscillations
on the vp-process nucleosynthesis. Our results show that the production of
light p-nuclei up to mass number A=108 is very sensitive to collective neutrino
oscillations.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Physics Letters
