How do the s-process and r-process create elements in stars?

Hi All

New here...

Where can I get clear explanations of how s-process and r-process works in stars. Diagrams and examples how neutron capture bumps elements up the period table. Which elements are created by either process.

Otherwise the good textbook on Nuclear physics by Krane (wiley) has a great chapter on nuclear astrophysics
