Chaotic amplification of neutrino chemical potentials by neutrino oscillations in big bang nucleosynthesis [PDF]
We investigate in detail the parameter space of active-sterile neutrino oscillations that amplifies neutrino chemical potentials at the epoch of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis.

Nucleosynthesis and observation of the heaviest elements [PDF]
The rapid neutron capture or ‘ r process’ of nucleosynthesis is believed to be responsible for the production of approximately half the natural abundance of heavy elements found on the periodic table above iron (with proton number $$Z=26$$ Z = 26 ) and ...

New models and big bang nucleosynthesis constraints in f(Q) gravity [PDF]
The f ( Q ) theories of modified gravity arise from the consideration of non-metricity as the basic geometric quantity, and have been proven to be very efficient in describing the late-time Universe.

Post-AGB Stars as Tracers of AGB Nucleosynthesis: An Update
The chemical evolution of galaxies is governed by the chemical yields from stars, and here we focus on the important contributions from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. AGB nucleosynthesis is, however, still riddled with complexities.

Neutrino decoupling including flavour oscillations and primordial nucleosynthesis [PDF]
We revisit the decoupling of neutrinos in the early universe with flavour oscillations. We rederive the quantum kinetic equations which determine the neutrino evolution based on a BBGKY-like hierarchy, and include for the first time the full collision ...

Solar data uncertainty impacts on MCMC methods for r-process nucleosynthesis
In recent work, we developed a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) procedure to predict the ground state masses capable of forming the observed Solar r-process rare-earth abundance peak.

Magnetic-buoyancy-induced mixing in AGB stars: Fluorine nucleosynthesis at different metallicities [PDF]
Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are considered to be among the most significant contributors to the fluorine budget in our Galaxy. While observations and theory agree at close-to-solar metallicity, stellar models at lower metallicities overestimate ...

The building blocks of the universe
I review the state of knowledge of the composition of the universe for a non-specialist audience. The universe is built up of four components. These are radiation, baryonic (ordinary) matter, dark matter and dark energy.
