Forms: s-processes [plural]
Etymology: The s stands for slow. Head templates: {{en-noun}} s-process (plural s-processes)
  1. (nuclear physics, astrophysics) the relatively slow nucleosynthesis process, in giant stars, in which neutron capture synthesizes elements up to atomic mass number 210 (at which point alpha decay becomes a deterrent to further building).
