中微子和BBN(以及CMB)

Neutrinos and BBN (and the CMB)

Gary Steigman

摘要:

在大爆炸核合成(BBN)期间,在宇宙演化的前20分钟,轻核素D,3 He,4 He和7 Li以天体物理学上有趣的丰度合成。目前观测到的宇宙微波背景辐射(CMB)最后一次散射是在大约40万年之后。BBN和CMB(补充了最近的大尺度结构数据),提供了宇宙早期演化的补充探针,并使对其中高温/能量物理过程的约束成为可能。在这篇综述中,两个物理量,重子密度参数和膨胀率参数的预测和观测,比较一下,看看在这两个相距甚远的时期,理论和观测是否一致。在肯定地回答了这个问题之后,讨论了这种一致性对粒子物理学和宇宙学的标准模型之外的物理学的影响。

英文摘要:

During Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), in the first 20 minutes of the evolution of the Universe, the light nuclides, D, 3He, 4He, and 7Li were synthesized in astrophysically interesting abundances. The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB) observed at present was last scattered some 400 thousand years later. BBN and the CMB (supplemented by more recent Large Scale Structure data), provide complementary probes of the early evolution of the Universe and enable constraints on the high temperature/energy physical processes in it. In this overview the predictions and observations of two physical quantities, the baryon density parameter and the expansion rate parameter, are compared to see if there is agreement between theory and observation at these two widely separated epochs. After answering this question in the affirmative, the consequences of this concordance for physics beyond the standard models of particle physics and cosmology is discussed.
