I think the r process and the s process should be listed separately, rather than lumped together.
- pgalvin 9mo agoThe s-, i-, and r-processes do however follow the same mechanism at the most fundamental level, even if it results in wildly different production paths. I think the author was simplifying for an audience unfamiliar with the details, for whom this distinction is less important. (And I say that despite my own work and usual eagerness to tell people all about it!)
