3 but first, some cosmology an expanding Universe v = H r v r galaxy's recessional velocity distance between galaxy and observer H Hubble's constant
4 but first, some cosmology an expanding Universe v = H r Hubble s Law is a natural result of an expansion that is isotropic and homogeneous v r galaxy's recessional velocity distance between galaxy and observer H Hubble's constant
5 Hubble expansion Look at the expansion kinematics Write the interparticle distances as: r (t) = a(t) r today a(t) space independent universal scale factor r today time independent comoving coordinate So the expansion velocity is: v (t) = d dt ( today ) = a(t) r a r today = a a a r today = a a H(t) = a a r (t) = cosmic expansion rate
6 Hubble expansion Look at the expansion dynamics Consider an arbitrary point, in a homogeneous universe with density ρ ρ r The test particle sees an enclosed mass: M = 4π 3 r3 ρ Assuming Newtonian dynamics and Euclidian (flat) geometry, we see: H 2 = a a 2 = 8π 3 Gρ
7 Hubble expansion Look at the expansion dynamics Consider an arbitrary point, in a homogeneous universe with density ρ ρ r The test particle sees an enclosed mass: M = 4π 3 r3 ρ Assuming Newtonian dynamics and Euclidian (flat) geometry, we see: H 2 = a a 2 = 8π 3 Gρ Expansion rate of the Universe depends on what s in it! ρ = ρ matter + ρ radiation + ρ dark energy

16 hot big bang cosmology big bang nucleosynthesis
17 big bang nucleosynthesis: the conditions space homogeneous, isotropic hot, radiation dominated ρ early ρ radiation T γ 4 dark matter, dark energy present but not interacting adiabatic expansion with fixed baryon-to-photon ratio T = T 0 a η = n b n γ composition γ, e, e +, ν, ν, p, n
18 back-of-the-envelope BBN Reactions coupling radiation and matter are initially in equilibrium γ +γ e + e + ν + ν p + e ν e + n n +e + ν e + p and so the neutron-to-proton ratio can be calculated as n n n p = e Q / kt, where Q = (m n m p )c 2 =1.293 MeV As the temperature falls, so do the interaction rates Weak equilibrium fails when T~10 10 K, so the neutron-to-proton ratio is frozen at: n n = e Q / kt = e (1.293 MeV)/( MeV/K K ) n p Composition is therefore ~223 n for every 1000 p
19 back-of-the-envelope BBN At T~10 10 K, still too hot for D to form: p + n D + γ Below T~10 9 K, the reverse reaction slows, and D can survive. From T~10 10 K to T~10 9 K, roughly 176 s have passed, and the composition has evolved due to the decay of the neutron: N n = 223e t /τ = 223e 176 / =183 neutrons remaining N p = ( ) =1040 protons If we now assume all of the neutrons combine with an equal number of protons to make D, and that all of the D combines to 4 He, we can estimate the mass fraction of helium as: X He ~ 4N He N p + 4N He ~ 4(91) (91) ~ 0.298

24 variation of BBN abundances with η WMAP value of η Range of η consistent with observations of 4 He, D, 7 Li Particle Data Group (2008)

35 lithium observations Plot by V.V. Smith
36 lithium observations Lots of scatter at high metallicity Li easily destroyed via nuclear burning in stars, can be synthesized via spallation reactions on CNO nuclei Plot by V.V. Smith
37 lithium observations Plateau at low metallicity likely a measure of primordial Li Spite plateau (Spite & Spite 1982) But observations of Li/H are a factor of ~3 lower than predicted Plot by V.V. Smith
38 nuclear physics uncertainties with modern rates for 1 H(n,γ) and 3 He(α,γ) with older values A nuclear physics solution to the 7 Li problem is unlikely An astrophysical solution is also unlikely Points to physics beyond Standard Model??? Coc & Vangioni (2010)
