  We determined the atmospheric parameters and abundance pattern for a sample
of metal-rich barium stars. We used high-resolution optical spectroscopy.
Atmospheric parameters and abundances were determined using the local
thermodynamic equilibrium atmosphere models of Kurucz and the spectral analysis
code MOOG. We show that the stars have enhancement factors, [s/Fe], from 0.25
to 1.16. Their abundance pattern of the Na, Al, alpha-elements, and iron group
elements as well as their kinematical properties are similar to the
characteristics of the other metal-rich and super metal-rich stars already
analyzed. We conclude that metal-rich barium stars do not belong to the bulge
population. We also show that metal-rich barium stars are useful targets for
probing the s-process enrichment in high-metallicity environments.
