Abstract

The s-process in massive stars is analyzed as a function of metallicity. The nucleosynthesis occurring in both core helium and shell carbon burning is investigated by numerically modeling nuclear reaction networks, subject to the conditions provided by stellar models. The efficiency of the neutron-capture mechanism depends on the amount of enhancement that is assumed for the α-rich nuclei, that are observed to be overabundant with respect to iron in stars of metallicity lower than solar
