Hitherto, only one mechanism for producing an exponentially weighted distribution of neutron exposures within a stellar interior has been shown to be successful. In this paper a second mechanism is proposed, based on consideration of the time dependence of the temperature, and consequently of the neutron production, in a stellar convective region. A wide range of mean neutron exposures, encompassing that necessary to form the solar system s-process abundances, can be produced by this new mechanism.
