Abundances in Galactic globular clusters are important for understanding Galactic chemical evolution and the formation of the Milk Way. 47 Tucanae (NGC 104) is a template metal-rich globular cluster ([Fe/H] ˜-0.7 dex). From the point of view of high resolution spectroscopy, there is still a lack of abundance analyses in the literature. In this work we present a detailed analysis carried out for 5 giants stars (12.10 < V < 14.30) of 47 Tucanae, using high resolution spectra (λ/Δλ˜60,000) with high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N > 200), obtained at the ESO VLT-UT2 8m telescope, equipped with the UVES spectrograph. Abundances of α- (O, Mg, Ca, Si, Ti), s- (Ba, Y, Sr) and r- (Eu) process elements are obtained.
