2 Introduction Comparison of different methods to estimate primordial abundances of light elements produced during the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis: direct astrophysical observations, values inferred from Cosmic Microwave Background. Results: new results from Planck 2015 description of low-multipoles likelihood constrain nuclear quantities from Cosmic Microwave Background neutron life-time. 1
3 Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN): formation of light nuclei in the first minutes after the Big Bang. Before BBN: neutrinos decoupling 2.0 MeV<E<3.5 MeV e ± annihilation, photons reheating n departure from equilibrium for n. n p,id = / neutrinos energy density, Instantaneous Decoupling n n (mn m p )c 2 =exp n p KT N e 3,ID neutrinos energy density, Non Instantaneous Decoupling Relativistic degrees of freedom N e =3.046 r = " /3 4 N e # 11 Steigmann, Annu. Rev. Nucl. Part. Sci : Total energy density of radiation Lesgourgues et al., New J. Phys.16 (2014)
4 Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Initial conditions, t ' 2s, E 10 2 kev : neutrinos fully decoupled from other particles baryons and photons strictly coupled n n ' 0.2 n p 2-body reactions: nuclear reactions between protons and neutrons strong interactions high cross sections and rapid reaction rates BBN is a fast process. Final conditions, t ' 1000 s, E < 30 kev : 75% H 25% He traces of other elements ( D, He 3, Li 7, Be 7 ) 3
5 Big Bang Nucleosynthesis BBN: good check for the Standard Model of Cosmology. cosmological parameters Evaluate primordial abundances: observe regions with low astrophysical evolution estimate post-bbn trends of light elements D: monotonically decreasing trend He 3, He 4, Li 7 : trends depend on models of stellar and galactic evolution. We concentrate on D and He 4 abundances: Y BBN p = 4n He n b He abundance as mass fraction. y DP = 10 5 n D n b D abundance as mass fraction. Y BBN p = ± (68 % c.l.) Aver et al. (2013) y DP =2.53 ± 0.04 (68 % c.l.) Cooke et al. (2014) y DP =2.87 ± 0.22 (68 % c.l.) Iocco et al. (2009) 4

17 We consider CDM model + n. Neutron life-time Planck and current cosmological data (Salvati et al., in preparation) For the analysis: Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) package cosmomc (publicly available). Each step in MCMC: evaluate Y p using a fitting formula from PArthENoPE BBN code, evaluate neutron life-time.
