The slow neutron-capture process(s-process) is one of the two main processes forming elements heavier than iron in stars. Its efficiency critically depends on key (a,n) reactions, which represent the main sources of neutrons to trigger the neutron-capture chain producing all elements up to bismuth, and on the modeling of convective boundaries. I present the evolution and s-process nucleosynthesis of low-mass AGB stars at low metallicities using the MESA stellar evolution code.
