Big Bang Nucleosynthesis: An Update
Abstract
WThe current status of big bang nucleosynthesis is reviewed with an emphasis on the comparison between the observational determination of the light element abundances of , 3, 4 and 7 and the predictions from theory. In particular, we present new analyses for 4 and 7. Implications for physics beyond the standard model are also discussed. Limits on the effective number of neutrino flavors are also updated.
