Advanced studies on the explosion mechanism of core-collapse supernovae and central engine of gamma-ray bursts were performed in this program, giving fruitful and state-of-the-art results. Lots of large-scale numerical simulations were done for the purpose, and in some cases cutting-edge simulations were performed using the K-computer. We also succeeded to obtain fruitful and noteworthy results on lots of phenomena accompanying core-collapse supernovae and gamma-ray bursts, such as gravitational waves, neutrino emissions, explosive nucleosynthesis including r-process nucleosynthesis, and ultra-high energy cosmic rays. For the above reasons, it is concluded that we could achieve great success to obtain cutting edge results in this program, which is more than we expected. Simultaneously, our five-year mission has ended successfully, leaving future works and direction of this field.
