Nuclear astrophysicists at war

open access: yesNatural Sciences, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2024.
The Manhattan program not only opened the path to the nuclear age for humans, but also triggered a lot of new questions and research directions in nuclear physics and astrophysics that still inform the ideas in these fields today. Abstract The question of energy production in stars stimulated an entire generation of young physicists in the 1930s who ...

Toward a self-consistent and unitary reaction network for big-bang nucleosynthesis

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2014
Unitarity, the mathematical expression of the conservation of probability in multichannel reactions, is an essential ingredient in the development of accurate nuclear reaction networks appropriate for nucleosynthesis in a variety of environments.

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints on f(T,T) gravity

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis provides us with an observational insight into the very early Universe. Since this mechanism of light element synthesis comes out of the standard model of particle cosmology which follows directly from General Relativity, it is ...

3He(α,γ)7Be cross section measured using complementary techniques

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2014
The astrophysical S-factor for the 3He(α,γ)7Be reaction plays an important role in the Solar Standard Model and in the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis scenario. The advances from two recent experiments performed using complementary techniques at center of mass (

Spacetime deformation effect on the early universe and the PTOLEMY experiment

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2017
Using a fully-fledged formulation of gauge field theory deformed by the spacetime noncommutativity, we study its impact on relic neutrino direct detection, as proposed recently by the PTOLEMY experiment.

Revisiting big-bang nucleosynthesis constraints on dark-matter annihilation

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
We study the effects of dark-matter annihilation during the epoch of big-bang nucleosynthesis on the primordial abundances of light elements. We improve the calculation of the light-element abundances by taking into account the effects of anti-nucleons ...

The Spectrum of Gravitational Waves, Their Overproduction in Quintessential Inflation and Its Influence in the Reheating Temperature

open access: yesUniverse, 2020
One of the most important issues in an inflationary theory as standard or quintessential inflation is the mechanism to reheat the universe after the end of the inflationary period in order to match with the Hot Big Bang universe.

θ-dependence of light nuclei and nucleosynthesis

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
We investigate the impact of the QCD vacuum at nonzero θ on the properties of light nuclei, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, and stellar nucleosynthesis. Our analysis starts with a calculation of the θ-dependence of the neutron-proton mass difference and ...

Cosmological Lithium Problems

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2018
We briefly describe the cosmological lithium problems followed by a summary of our recent theoretical work on the magnitude of the effects of electron screening, thepossible existence of dark matter parallel universes and the use of non-extensive (Tsal ...
