Primordial nucleosynthesis as a probe of fundamental physics parameters
We analyze the effect of variation of fundamental couplings and mass scales on primordial nucleosynthesis in a systematic way. The first step establishes the response of primordial element abundances to the variation of a large number of nuclear physics parameters, including nuclear binding energies. We find a strong influence of the n−p mass difference (for the He abundance), of the nucleon ma...

متن کاملPrimordial Nucleosynthesis
Primordial nucleosynthesis provides a probe of the Universe during its early evolution. Given the progress exploring the constituents, structure, and recent evolution of the Universe, it is timely to review the status of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and to confront its predictions, and the constraints which emerge from them, with those derived from independent observations of the Universe at ...
متن کاملPrimordial Nucleosynthesis : Accurate Predictions
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) represents a key subject of modern cosmology since it is a powerful tool to study fundamental interactions. In the recent years, the improvement on the measurement accuracy of light primordial nu-clei abundances allowed BBN to enter in a sort of precision era. In view of this, a great theoretical effort has been devoted to make theoretical predictions comparably a...
متن کاملPrimordial Nucleosynthesis After WMAP
During its early evolution, the hot, dense Universe provided a laboratory for probing fundamental physics at high energies. By studying the relics from those early epochs, such as the light elements synthesized during primordial nucleosynthesis when the Universe was only a few minutes old, and the relic, cosmic microwave photons, last scattered when the protons, alphas, and electrons (re)combin...
