Neutron Abundance vs. Time / Temperature p + e   n + e … (n/p) eq BBN “Begins”  Decay “Freeze – Out” ? Wrong! Rates set by  n

Statistical Errors versus Systematic Errors ! History of  n measurements  0.8 sec

BBN “Begins” at T  70 keV when n / p  1 / 7 Coulomb Barriers and absence of free neutrons terminate BBN at T  30 keV t BBN  4  24 min.

“Standard” Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (SBBN) An Expanding Universe Described By General Relativity, Filled With Radiation, Including 3 Flavors Of Light Neutrinos (N = 3) The relic abundances of D, 3 He, 4 He, 7 Li are predicted as a function of only one parameter : * The baryon to photon ratio :  B

 10 More nucleons  less D Evolution of mass - 2

More nucleons  less mass - 3 Two pathways to mass - 3

Two pathways to mass - 7

BBN abundances of masses – 6, 9 – 11 Abundances Are Very Small !

n / p  1 / 7  Y  2n / (n + p)  0.25 All / most neutrons are incorporated in 4 He Y is very weakly dependent on the nucleon abundance Y  4 He Mass Fraction Y  4y/(1 + 4y) y  n(He)/n(H) Y P DOES depend on the competition between Γ wk & H

BBN Abundances of D, 3 He, 7 Li are RATE (DENSITY) LIMITED D, 3 He, 7 Li are potential BARYOMETERS SBBN – Predicted Primordial Abundances 7 Li 7 Be 4 He Mass Fraction Mostly H & 4 He

“Measure” ( D / H ) P Use BBN ( D / H ) P vs.  10 to constrain  B Infer  B (  B ) at ~ 20 Min. Predict (D/H) P

4 He (mass fraction Y) is NOT Rate Limited Expansion Rate Parameter : S  H´/ H S  H´/ H  (  ´ /  ) 1/2  (1 + 7  N / 43) 1/2 where  ´   +  N  and N  3 +  N 4 He IS n/p Limited  Y is sensitive to the EXPANSION RATE ( H   1/2 )

S 2  (H/ H) 2 = G  / G    N / 43 * S may be parameterized by  N The Expansion Rate Parameter (S) Is A Probe Of Non-Standard Physics 4 He is sensitive to S (N ) ; D probes  B NOTE : G/ G = S 2   N / 43  N  (  -  ) /  and N  3 +  N

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) An Expanding Universe Described By General Relativity, Filled With Radiation, Including N Flavors Of Light Neutrinos The relic abundances of D, 3 He, 4 He, 7 Li are predicted as a function of two parameters : * The baryon to photon ratio :  B (SBBN) * The effective number of neutrinos : N

N = 2, 3, 4 4 He is an early – Universe Chronometer (S = 0.91, 1.00, 1.08)  Y   N  0.16 (S – 1) Y vs. D / H

Post – BBN Evolution As gas cycles through stars, D is only DESTROYED Stars burn H to 4 He (and produce heavy elements)  4 He INCREASES (along with CNO) As gas cycles through stars, 3 He is DESTROYED, PRODUCED and, some 3 He SURVIVES Cosmic Rays and SOME Stars PRODUCE 7 Li BUT, 7 Li is DESTROYED in most stars

In determining the primordial helium abundance, systematic errors (underlying stellar absorption, temperature variations, ionization corrections, atomic emissivities, inhomogeneities, ….) dominate over the statistical errors and the uncertain extrapolation to zero metallicity.  σ (Y P ) ≈ 0.006, NOT < !
