  "abstract": "We study in detail the ejecta conditions and theoretical nucleosynthetic results for 17 three-dimensional core-collapse supernova (CCSN) simulations done by F{\\sc ornax}. We find that multi-dimensional effects introduce many complexities into ejecta conditions. We see stochastic electron fraction evolution, complex peak temperature distributions and histories, and long-tail distributions of the time spent within nucleosynthetic temperature ranges. These all lead to substantial variation in CCSN nucleosynthetic yields and differences with 1D results. We discuss the production of lighter $\\alpha$-nuclei, radioactive isotopes, heavier elements, and a few isotopes of special interest. Comparing pre-CCSN and CCSN contributions, we find that a significant fraction of elements between roughly Si and Ge are generically produced in CCSNe. We find that $^{44}$Ti exhibits an extended production timescale compared to $^{56}$Ni, which may explain its different distribution and higher than previously predicted abundances in supernova remnants such as Cas A and SN1987A. We also discuss the morphology of the ejected elements. This study highlights the high-level diversity of ejecta conditions and nucleosynthetic results in 3D CCSN simulations and emphasizes the need for additional long-term 3D simulations to properly address such complexities.",
