Query: Application of a Theory and Simulation based Convective Boundary Mixing
  model for AGB Star Evolution and Nucleosynthesis   The $s$-process nucleosynthesis in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars
depends on the modeling of convective boundaries. We present models and
s-process simulations that adopt a treatment of convective boundaries based on
the results of hydrodynamic simulations and on the theory of mixing due to
gravity waves in the vicinity of convective boundaries. Hydrodynamics
simulations suggest the presence of convective boundary mixing (CBM) at the
bottom of the thermal pulse-driven convective zone. Similarly,
convection-induced mixing processes are proposed for the mixing below the
convective envelope during third dredge-up where the 13C pocket for the s
process in AGB stars forms. In this work we apply a CBM model motivated by
simulations and theory to models with initial mass $M = 2$ and $M = 3M_\odot$,
and with initial metal content Z = 0.01 and Z = 0.02. As reported previously,
the He-intershell abundance of 12C and 16O are increased by CBM at the bottom
of pulse-driven convection zone. This mixing is affecting the
$^{22}Ne(\alpha,n)^{25}Mg$ activation and the s-process effciency in the
13C-pocket. In our model CBM at the bottom of the convective envelope during
the third dredgeup represents gravity wave mixing. We take further into account
that hydrodynamic simulations indicate a declining mixing efficiency already
about a pressure scale height from the convective boundaries, compared to
mixing-length theory. We obtain the formation of the 13C-pocket with a mass of
$\approx 10^{-4}M_\odot$. The final $s$-process abundances are characterized by
0.36 < [s=Fe] < 0.78 and the heavy-to-light s-process ratio is 0.23 < [hs=ls] <
0.45. Finally, we compare our results with stellar observations, pre-solar
grain measurements and previous work.
