Big–bang Nucleosynthesis as a Probe of the Geometry of Superspace

چکیده
We study the effect from a general ultralocal supermetric on primordial nucleosynthesis for Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Cosmology. The parameter λ of the supermetric changes the effective number of degrees of freedom, g∗, which modifies the Friedmann equation. This modification produces variations in the production of primordial 4He. The observations of the primordial abundances of light elements (4He, D, 3He and 7Li) allow to estimate bounds on the values of λ consistent with these observations. We obtain 0.87 ≤ λ ≤ 1.04. In addition we analyze the importance of λ < 1 to explain possible incompatibilities in the standard Big-Bang nucleosynthesis.

Some Key Questions in Early Universe Cosmology and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
For all the interesting possible phenomena which might have occurred during the early universe, there are really only two observational cosmological probes. Of those two, the only probe during the relevant radiation dominated epoch is the yield of light elements during the epoch of big bang nucleosynthesis. The synthesis of light elements occurs in the temperature regime from 108 to 1010 K and ...

متن کاملNp Cross Section for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
The total cross sections for the radiative neutron capture on a proton, np → dγ, and its inverse reaction dγ → np are evaluated at the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) energies. We employ the effective field theory with dibaryon field to describe the two-nucleon reactions with external electromagnetic probe. Electromagnetic transition amplitudes are obtained up to next-to leading order. Our resul...
متن کاملSTRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION USING BIG BANG-BIG CRUNCH ALGORITHM: A REVIEW
The big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) algorithm is a popular metaheuristic optimization technique proposed based on one of the theories for the evolution of the universe. The algorithm utilizes a two-phase search mechanism: big-bang phase and big-crunch phase. In the big-bang phase the concept of energy dissipation is considered to produce disorder and randomness in the candidate population while in ...
متن کاملAlternative Solutions to Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Standard big bang nucleosynthesis (SBBN) has been remarkably successful, and it may well be the correct and sufficient account of what happened. However, interest in variations from the standard picture come from two sources: First, big bang nucleosynthesis can be used to constrain physics of the early universe. Second, there may be some discrepancy between predictions of SBBN and observations ...
