We report on the abundances for 13 elements in CS 22183-015, the most metal-poor, s-process-rich star yet discovered. We measure [Fe/H]=-3.12 and large overabundances compared to scaled solar values for 11 heavy elements with s-process origin. The low luminosity of the star suggests that it is a CH star, a giant that has accreted s-processed material from an evolved, very metal poor companion. We find a [Pb/Ba] value of 1.1 dex and, more generally, that the ratio of heavy to light s-process elements is larger than seen in the solar system. This result is consistent with theoretical expectations for the s-process in metal-poor stars. [Eu/La] is higher than predicted from the solar system s-process abundance ratios. We argue that the s-process in metal-poor stars is more efficient at producing Eu that in asymptotic giant branch stars of solar metallicity.
