Seeking Information on the R-process

[darkchild]

I'm writing my senior thesis on the r-process, and having a lot of trouble gathering information because my only sources are professional papers (which are clearly not written with an undergraduate understanding in mind). Can anyone recommend a text that explains the rapid neutron capture process, at least to a level that will allow me to make better use of the professional papers I'm reading?

Thanks.
