Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis after Planck [PDF]
We assess the status of big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) in light of the final Planck data release and other recent developments, and in anticipation of future measurements.

This article describes the implementation of low‐frequency axion haloscope setups inside the future BabyIAXO magnet. The RADES proposal has a potential sensitivity to the axion‐photon coupling down to values corresponding to the KSVZ model, in the mass range between 1 and 2 μ$\umu$eV.

Black holes as “time capsules”: A cosmological graviton background and the Hubble tension
Abstract Minuscule primordial black holes (BHs) before the end and after inflation can serve as “time capsules” bringing back energy from the past to a later epoch when they evaporate. As these BHs behave like matter, while the rest of the universe's content behaves like radiation, the mass fraction of these BHs, which is tiny at formation, becomes ...

Big Bang nucleosynthesis as a probe of new physics [PDF]
The Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) model is a cornerstone for the understanding of the evolution of the early universe, making seminal predictions that are in outstanding agreement with the present observation of light element abundances in the universe.

Dark Energy from Cosmological Energy Conservation
The value of the gravitational wave energy density is unknown. Current progress in gravitational wave detection suggests that the energy density of the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) will be estimated in the next decades. A derivation of its value is presented under the assumption that energy lost due to cosmic redshift is fully ...

Constraints on ultralight scalar dark matter with quadratic couplings
Ultralight dark matter is a compelling dark matter candidate. In this work, we examine the impact of quadratically-coupled ultralight dark matter on the predictions of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis.

Big bang nucleosynthesis constraints on sterile neutrino and lepton asymmetry of the Universe [PDF]
We consider the cosmological effects of sterile neutrinos with the masses of 150–450 MeV . The decay of sterile neutrinos changes the thermal history of the Universe and affects the energy density of radiation at recombination and the big bang ...

The Challenge of Getting Earth and Space Science Into U.S. High Schools
Abstract The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which have now been adopted or adapted by 45 states and Washington, D.C., as their public K‐12 science education standards, are not only revolutionizing the way science is taught but are providing significant opportunities for an increased presence of Earth and space science (ESS) in public high ...

BBN constraints on universally-coupled ultralight scalar dark matter
Ultralight scalar dark matter can interact with all massive Standard Model particles through a universal coupling. Such a coupling modifies the Standard Model particle masses and affects the dynamics of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We model the cosmological

Quintessence and the Swampland: The Numerically Controlled Regime of Moduli Space
Abstract We provide a detailed discussion of the main theoretical and phenomenological challenges of quintessence model building in any numerically controlled regime of the moduli space of string theory. We argue that a working quintessence model requires a leading order non‐supersymmetric (near) Minkowski vacuum with an axionic flat direction.
