摘要:

原初的^4He丰度在大爆炸核合成(BBN)和宇宙微波背景(CMB)中起着核心作用。LBT Y_p项目的新测量结果,原初^4He质量分数Y_p=0.2458±0.0013,是迄今为止最精确的确定。在本文中,我们将新的Y_p值与最新的原初氘测量相结合,评估其对宇宙学的影响。对于标准BBN,其中轻子种类数目固定为N_ν=3,单个自由参数是宇宙质子密度;CMB独立测量这一参数,结果相互一致。结合Y_p、D/H、BBN和CMB,得到宇宙质子-光子比η=(6.120±0.038)×10^-10,对应于质子密度参数Ω_B h^2=0.02236±0.00014。然后我们允许N_ν变化,从而测量核合成期间存在的相对论性物种。我们发现η=(6.101±0.044)×10^-10或Ω_B h^2=0.02229±0.00016,以及N_ν=2.925±0.082,并且对于N_ν≥3,ΔN_ν=N_ν-3≤0.125(95%置信水平)在BBN和CMB期间。我们的结果表明与粒子物理的标准模型一致,并与将BBN在约1秒和CMB在约40万年联系起来的标准宇宙学一致。

英文摘要:

The primordial abundance of $^4$He plays a central role in big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The LBT $Y_{\rm p}$ Project's new measurement of the primordial $^4$He mass fraction $Y_{\rm p} =0.2458 \pm 0.0013$ is the most precise determination to date. In this paper, we combine our new $Y_{\rm p}$ value with the latest primordial deuterium measurement, and assess the consequences for cosmology. For Standard BBN, where the number of light neutrino species is fixed at $N_ν=3$, the single free parameter is the cosmic baryon density; the CMB measures this independently, with results consistent with each other. Combining $Y_{\rm p}$ , D/H, BBN, and the CMB, gives the cosmic baryon-to-photon ratio $η= (6.120 \pm 0.038) \times 10^{-10}$, corresponding to a baryon density parameter $Ω_{\rm B} h^2 = 0.02236 \pm 0.00014$. We then allow $N_ν$ to vary and thus measure relativistic species present during nucleosynthesis. We find $η= (6.101 \pm 0.044) \times 10^{-10}$ or $Ω_{\rm B} h^2= 0.02229 \pm 0. 00016$, and $N_ν= 2.925 \pm 0.082$, and for $N_ν\ge 3$, $ΔN_ν= N_ν-3 \le 0.125$ (95\% CL) during BBN and the CMB. Our results demonstrate consistency with the Standard Model of particle physics, and with the standard cosmology that links BBN at $\sim 1 \ \rm sec$ and the CMB at $\sim 400,000$ yr.
