A best set of neutron-capture cross sections has been evaluated for the most important~-process isotopes. With this data base, -process studies have been carried out using the traditional model which assumes a steady neutron flux and an exponential distribution of neutron irradiations. The calculated aN-curve is~n excellent agreement with the empirical aN-values of pure~-process nuclei. Simultaneously, good agreement is found between the difference of solar and~-process abundances and the abundances of pure~-process nuclei. We also discuss the abundance pattern of the iron group elements where our~-process results complement the abundances obtained from explosive nuclear burning.
