Atomic Diffusion in Old Stars : Testing parameter degeneracies

The predicted primordial lithium abundance differs from observations of unevolved halo stars on the Spite plateau by a factor two to three. Surface depletion due to atomic diffusion has been suggested as a cause of this so-called cosmological lithium problem. Evolutionary abundance trends indicative...
