arXiv:astro-ph/9904411
Abstract
A detailed analysis of primordial nucleosynthesis predictions for light element abundances is performed. Contents: 1. The standard cosmology: an overview. 2. Primordial nucleosynthesis. 3. The Born rates for n<->p reactions. 4. Finite nucleon mass corrections. 5. QED thermal radiative corrections. 6. Calculations of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Results.
