Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and Related Observations
arXiv:astro-ph/0009475
Abstract
The current status of big bang nucleosynthesis is summarized. Particular attention is paid to recent observations of He4 and Li7 and their systematic uncertainties. Be and B are also discussed in connection to recent Li7 observations and the primordial Li7 abundance.
