Primordial Nucleosynthesis: an updated comparison of observational light nuclei abundances with theoretical predictions
arXiv:0811.4479 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2009.02.002
Abstract
An up to date review of Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis predictions vs the astrophysical estimates of light nuclei abundances is here presented. In particular the analysis reports the expected ranges for baryon fraction and effective number of neutrinos as obtained by BBN only.
