Q

s- process ( slow addition of neutrons )

A

relatively low neutron densities and at
intermediate temperature conditions in stars.
The rate of neutron capture by the atomic
nuclei is slow relative to the rate of radioactive
beta decay.

It means that a nucleus will undergo beta
decay before another neutron is captured –
produces stable isotopes.
