Does the main component of the s-process in AGB stars constrain the neutron source in the 13C-pocket?

Abstract: The 13 C(α, n) 16 O reaction is considered as the main responsible for the production of the sprocess main component in low-mass AGB stars. Its activation requires a physical mechanism to ingest protons in the He-rich region forming a 13 C reservoir, or pocket. This was typically assumed to involve a small mass (≤ 10 −3 M ) [7], but recent observations in several astrophysical sites showed enhancements of s-element abundances with respect to the Sun suggesting a more effective s-process nucleosynthesis.
