Results from existing models of s-processing in red giants are compared with key observed abundances in population I and II AGB stars. Population I giants are particularly important for getting constraints on the neutron density (from Rb/Sr ratios), while population II AGB's provide clues to understand how the neutron exposure is achieved (through the ratio between Ba-peak and Sr-peak elements). AGB stars are shown to require s-processing with a very low neutron density, and producing very high Ba/Sr ratios at low metallicities. Both features are typical of radiative 13C-burning phases in AGB stars.
