Scientific paper

Attention is given to the results obtained to date in experimental and theoretical studies of possible dynamic processes within red giant stars, which may be responsible for the nucleosynthetic generation of such heavy elements as Ag, Au, and Pb. The experimental work involves refined measurements of the parameters governing nuclear transformations, while the theoretical work involves extensive computer modeling. The parameter values obtained suggest that low mass red giant stars have produced most of the solar system s-process abundances; statistical analyses indicate, however, that the chance of the curve of cross section-times-abundance obtained actually representing the observational data, while greater than that of the classical s-process curve, is still only about 10 percent.
