The surprising influence of late charged current weak interactions on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
The weak interaction charged current processes (νe+n↔p+e−; ν¯e+p↔n+e+; n↔p+e−+ν¯e) interconvert neutrons and protons in the early universe and have significant influence on Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) light-element abundance yields, particularly that for 4He. We demonstrate that the influence of...
