Nuclear weak interaction rates in primordial nucleosynthesis
George M. Fuller, Christel J. Smith
We calculate the weak interaction rates of selected light nuclei during the epoch of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), and we assess the impact of these rates on nuclear abundance fl…
New Nuclear Physics for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Richard N. Boyd, Carl R. Brune, George M. Fuller +1
We discuss nuclear reactions which could play a role in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). Most of these reactions involve lithium and beryllium isotopes and the rates for some of the…
Using Big Bang Nucleosynthesis to Extend CMB Probes of Neutrino Physics
M. Shimon, N. J. Miller, C. T. Kishimoto +3
We present calculations showing that upcoming Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments will have the power to improve on current constraints on neutrino masses and provide new…
Weak Interaction Rate Coulomb Corrections in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Christel J. Smith, George M. Fuller
We have applied a fully relativistic Coulomb wave correction to the weak reactions in the full Kawano/Wagoner Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) code. We have also added the zero tempe…
