原始核合成:宇宙学探索

Primordial Nucleosynthesis: A Cosmological Probe

Gary Steigman

摘要:

在早期的演化过程中,宇宙提供了一个实验室来探索高能的基础物理。早期时代的遗迹,例如宇宙诞生仅几分钟时在原始核合成过程中合成的轻元素,以及大约40万年后质子(和α粒子)和电子(重新)结合时最后散射的宇宙背景光子,可能被用来探测宇宙学和粒子物理学的标准模型。通过比较轻元素丰度的预测值和观测值,检验了原初核合成的内在一致性;通过比较原初核合成的宇宙学参数值和宇宙背景辐射的宇宙学参数值,探讨了标准模型的一致性。

英文摘要:

During its early evolution the Universe provided a laboratory to probe fundamental physics at high energies. Relics from those early epochs, such as the light elements synthesized during primordial nucleosynthesis when the Universe was only a few minutes old, and the cosmic background photons, last scattered when the protons (and alphas) and electrons (re)combined some 400 thousand years later, may be used to probe the standard models of cosmology and of particle physics. The internal consistency of primordial nucleosynthesis is tested by comparing the predicted and observed abundances of the light elements, and the consistency of the standard models is explored by comparing the values of the cosmological parameters inferred from primordial nucleosynthesis with those determined by studying the cosmic background radiation.
