Coulomb screening in linear coasting nucleosynthesis [PDF]
We investigate the impact of coulomb screening on primordial nucleosynthesis in a universe having scale factor that evolves linearly with time. Coulomb screening affects primordial nucleosynthesis via enhancement of thermonuclear reaction rates. This enhancement is determined by the solving Poisson equation within the context of mean field theory ...

Alternative Solutions to Big Bang Nucleosynthesis [PDF]
Standard big bang nucleosynthesis (SBBN) has been remarkably successful, and it may well be the correct and sufficient account of what happened. However, interest in variations from the standard picture come from two sources: First, big bang nucleosynthesis can be used to constrain physics of the early universe.

Nucleosynthesis bounds on small Dirac neutrino masses due to chiral symmetry breaking [PDF]
We consider nucleosynthesis constraints on models which use chiral symmetry breaking as a basis for understanding very small Dirac neutrino masses. We show that present big-bang nucleosynthesis constraints impose a well-defined upper bound of 0.1eV on the neutrino masses. This bound may become several orders of magnitude more stringent in the future as

Nucleosynthesis Without Computer [PDF]
I derive completely analytically the time evolution and final abundances of the light elements (up to Be-7) formed in the big-bang nucleosynthesis.This highlights an interesting physics taking place during the formation of light elements in the early universe.

From the s-Process to the i-Process: A New Perspective on the Chemical Enrichment of Extrinsic Stars
Separating stars enriched in the s- and r-processes of nucleosynthesis is usually achieved by analyzing the element ratios of s-process elements (like Ba or La) to r-process elements (like Eu).

Cosmological Nucleosynthesis in the Big-Bang and Supernovae [PDF]
Recent observation of the power spectrum of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) Radiation has exhibited that the flat cosmology is most likely. This suggests too large universal baryon-density parameter $\Omega_b h^2 \approx 0.022 \sim 0.030$ to accept a theoretical prediction, $\Omega_b h^2 \le 0.017$, in the homogeneous Big-Bang model for primordial ...

Recommendations for Monte Carlo nucleosynthesis sampling (Research Note) [PDF]
Context: Recent reaction rate evaluations include reaction rate uncertainties that have been determined in a statistically meaningful manner. Furthermore, reaction rate probability density distributions have been determined and published in the form of lognormal parameters with the specific goal of pursuing Monte Carlo nucleosynthesis studies.
