We propose a new nucleosynthesis process in which various nuclei are formedthrough the liquid-gas phase transition of supernova matter as a preprocess ofthe standard r-process, and study its possibility of realization qualitatively. In the relativistic mean field and statistical model calculations, we findthat this process may take place and help the later r-process to proceed.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, proceedings of Yukawa International Seminar 2001 (YKIS01), Physics of Unstable Nuclei, November 5-10, 2001, Kyoto, Japan.
