Big bang nucleosynthesis limit on N ν
Recently we presented a simple method for determining the correlated uncertainties of the light element abundances expected from big bang nucle-osynthesis, which avoids the need for lengthy Monte Carlo simulations. We now extend this approach to consider departures from the Standard Model, in particular to constrain any new light degrees of freedom present in the thermal plasma during nucleosyn...

Recent observational and theoretical developments concerning the primordial synthesis of the light elements are reviewed, and the implications for dark matter mentioned.
متن کاملAssessing Big-Bang nucleosynthesis.
Systematic uncertainties in the light-element abundances and their evolution make a rigorous statistical assessment difficult. However, using Bayesian methods we show that the following statement is robust: the predicted and measured abundances are consistent with 95% credibility only if the baryon-to-photon ratio is between 2× 10 and 6.5× 10 and the number of light neutrino species is less tha...
متن کاملBig Bang Nucleosynthesis Calculation
I review standard big bang nucleosynthesis and some versions of nonstandard BBN. The abundances of the primordial isotopes D, He-3, and Li-7 produced in standard BBN can be calculated as a function of the baryon density with an accuracy of about 10%. For He-4 the accuracy is better than 1%. The calculated abundances agree fairly well with observations, but the baryon density of the universe can...
