Self-consistent strong screening applied to thermonuclear reactions
Christopher Grayson, Cheng Tao Yang, Martin Formanek +1
Self-consistent strong plasma screening around light nuclei is implemented in the Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) epoch to determine the short-range screening potential, $eϕ(r)/T \g…
Temperature Dependence of the Neutron Lifespan
Cheng Tao Yang, Jeremiah Birrell, Johann Rafelski
Current precision big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) studies motivate us to revisit the neutron lifespan in the plasma medium of the early universe. The mechanism we explore is the Fer…
Relic Neutrino Freeze-out: Dependence on Natural Constants
Jeremiah Birrell, Cheng-Tao Yang, Johann Rafelski
Analysis of cosmic microwave background radiation fluctuations favors an effective number of neutrinos, . This motivates a reinvestigation of the neutrino freeze-out process…
