The s-process is one of the two main nucleosynthesis processes forming nuclei heavier than those of the iron peak. Neutron captures are slower than beta-decays (hence the s, for slow), keeping the flow of matter on the nuclear stability valley. The s-process occurs during helium fusion in stars, neutrons being released through 13C (α, n) or 22Ne (α, n), on timescales of 104 years. The latter reaction operates in the cores of massive stars and produces the light s-nuclei (with mass number A< 90, like Sr), while the former operates during shell He burning in▶ asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and produces the heavier s-nuclei (up to 208Pb).
