大爆炸核合成

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis

Ryan Cooke

AI总结:

本章综述大爆炸核合成的物理机制、现代计算与原初丰度测量,阐明其作为热大爆炸和标准宇宙学模型关键支柱的意义。

摘要:

热大爆炸模型最令人信服的证据之一,是认识并证实某些核素是在大爆炸后不久产生的。这一过程被称为大爆炸核合成(有时也称原初核合成),是中子和质子处于炽热、膨胀宇宙中的最终产物。大爆炸核合成目前为我们提供了对宇宙学最早的检验,也是当前设计的唯一同时对全部四种已知基本力敏感的实验:引力、电磁力、强力和弱力。我们对大爆炸核合成的理论理解,连同对原初丰度的测量,共同构成了标准宇宙学模型最坚实的支柱之一。在本章中,我们将建立对大爆炸核合成的直观理解,讨论这一过程的现代计算,并概述迄今已完成的最新水平测量。总体而言,大爆炸核合成与多种宇宙学探针显著一致,正是这种一致性增强了我们对当今所拥有的宇宙学总体图景的信心。

英文摘要:

One of the most compelling pieces of evidence of the Hot Big Bang model is the realisation and confirmation that some nuclides were created shortly after the Big Bang. This process is referred to as Big Bang nucleosynthesis (or, sometimes, primordial nucleosynthesis), and is the end-product of putting neutrons and protons in a hot, expanding Universe. Big Bang nucleosynthesis currently provides our earliest test of cosmology, and it is the only experiment currently designed that is simultaneously sensitive to all four known fundamental forces: the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the strong force and the weak force. Our theoretical understanding of Big Bang nucleosynthesis and the measurement of the primordial abundances together represents one of the strongest pillars of the standard cosmological model. In this chapter, we will develop an intuitive understanding of Big Bang nucleosynthesis, discuss modern calculations of this process, and provide a summary of the current state-of-the-art measurements that have been made. Overall, Big Bang nucleosynthesis is in remarkable agreement with various cosmological probes, and it is this agreement that serves to strengthen our confidence in the general picture of cosmology that we have today.
