Neutrinos and Primordial Nucleosynthesis
G. Mangano, P. D. Serpico
The importance of the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) as a unique tool for studying neutrino properties is discussed, and the recent steps towards a self-consistent and robust handl…
Diffuse Cosmic Neutrino Background from Population III Stars
F. Iocco, G. Mangano, G. Miele +2
We study the expected diffuse cosmic neutrino flux produced by Population III (PopIII) stars during their nuclear burning phases as well as from their final stages of evolution (co…
First results from the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST)
CAST Collaboration
Hypothetical axion-like particles with a two-photon interaction would be produced in the Sun by the Primakoff process. In a laboratory magnetic field (``axion helioscope'') they wo…
Nuclear Reaction Network for Primordial Nucleosynthesis: a detailed analysis of rates, uncertainties and light nuclei yields
P. D. Serpico, S. Esposito, F. Iocco +3
We analyze in details the standard Primordial Nucleosynthesis scenario. In particular we discuss the key theoretical issues which are involved in a detailed prediction of light nuc…
The Nuclear Reactions in Standard BBN
Pasquale D. Serpico
Nowadays, the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies studies accurately determine the baryon fraction omega_b, showing an overall and striking agreement with previous deter…
MeV-mass dark matter and primordial nucleosynthesis
Pasquale D. Serpico, Georg G. Raffelt
The annihilation of new dark matter candidates with masses in the MeV range may account for the galactic positrons that are required to explain the 511 keV -ray flux from…
