Recent Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) measurements have determined the baryon density of the Universe {omega}{sub b} with a precision of about 4%. With {omega}{sub b} tightly constrained, comparisons of Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) abundance predictions to primordial abundance observations can be made and used to test BBN models and/or to further constrain abundances of isotopes with weak observational limits. To push the limits and improve constraints on BBN models… Expand

The Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) model is a great success of nuclear astrophysics due to the outstanding agreement between observational and predicted light elements abundances. One exception,Expand
Low-energy d+d fusion reactions via the Trojan Horse Method
Abstract The bare nucleus S ( E ) factors for the H 2 ( d , p ) H 3 and H 2 ( d , n ) He 3 reactions have been measured for the first time via the Trojan Horse Method off the proton in 3He from 1.5Expand
Bayesian estimation of thermonuclear reaction rates for deuterium+deuterium reactions
• Physics
• 2017
The study of d+d reactions is of major interest since their reaction rates affect the predicted abundances of D, 3He, and 7Li. In particular, recent measurements of primordial D/H ratios call forExpand
Standard big bang nucleosynthesis and primordial CNO abundances after Planck
