Abstract

The determination of the primeval deuterium abundance has opened a precision era in big bang nucleosynthesis, making accurate predictions more important than ever before. We present in analytic form new, more precise predictions for the light-element abundances and their error matrix. Using our predictions and the primeval deuterium abundance, we infer a baryon density of Ω B h 2 = 0.020 ± 0.002 (95% confidence level) and find no evidence for stellar production (or destruction) of 3 He beyond burning D into 3 He. Conclusions about 4 He and 7 Li currently hinge on possible systematic errors in their measurements.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
