Constraining axion dark matter with Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

Physics Letters B, 2014
We show that Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) significantly constrains axion-like dark matter. The axion acts like an oscillating QCD θ angle that redshifts in the early Universe, increasing the neutron–proton mass difference at neutron freeze-out.

7Be(n,α) and 7Be(n,p) cross-section measurement for the cosmological lithium problem at the n_TOF facility at CERN

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The Cosmological Lithium Problem refers to the large discrepancy between the abundance of primordial 7Li predicted by the standard theory of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the value inferred from the so-called “Spite plateau” in halo stars.

The Primordial Abundance of $^6$Li and $^9$be [PDF]

, 1994
Light element ($^6$Li, $^7$Li and $^9$Be) depletion isochrones for halo stars have been calculated with standard stellar evolution models. These models include the latest available opacities and are computed through the sub-giant branch. If $^6$Li is not

Two Micron‐Size Dark Dimensions

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Two extra dimensions of micron scale might simultaneously address the gauge and cosmological hierarchy problems. In this paper various observational bounds in scenarios with one and two large extra dimensions are examined, to see if they are compatible with the micron scale.

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis in Visible and Hidden-Mirror Sectors

Advances in High Energy Physics, 2014
One of the still viable candidates for the dark matter is the so-called mirror matter. Its cosmological and astrophysical implications were widely studied, pointing out the importance to go further with research.

Neutrinos And Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

, 2005
The early universe provides a unique laboratory for probing the frontiers of particle physics in general and neutrino physics in particular. The primordial abundances of the relic nuclei produced during the first few minutes of the evolution of the ...

Can We Draw Conclusions on Supernova Shock Wave Propagation Using Short‐Lived Radioactive Isotopes?

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 3-4, March-May 2025.
ABSTRACT We run a three‐dimensional Galactic chemical evolution (GCE) model to follow the propagation of 53Mn (exclusively produced from type Ia supernovae, SNIa), 60Fe (exclusively produced from core‐collapse supernovae, CCSNe), 182Hf (exclusively produced from intermediate mass stars, IMSs), and 244Pu (exclusively produced from neutron star mergers ...

Primordial Nucleosynthesis with a background magnetic field [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020
We present our recent detailed calculation of the impacts from a background magnetic field on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). Namely, the magnetic field impacts on the electron-positron thermodynamics, time temper-ature relation and the screening ...

The evolution and history of Vinca alkaloids: From the Big Bang to the treatment of pediatric acute leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 71, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract An attractive flower from the island of Madagascar has in part saved the lives of thousands of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Random mutations and alterations to the genome led to the evolution of genes encoding enzymes, which would provide the periwinkle flower an arsenal of secondary metabolites to survive within the ...
