3 Challenge of the Century Universal expansion is most likely accelerating and flat! W B + W CDM + W L = 1 CMB Planck What is CDM (W CDM = 0.27) and DE (W L = 0.68)? CMB including n-mass SN Ia magnitude-redshift relation Is BARYON sector (W B = 0.05) well understood? BBN with Axions + SUSY to solve DM & Li Problems: SUSY-DM beyond the Standard Model m n = 0 is the unique signal! The 1st Purpose :- is to clarify the scintific link among Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis Dark Matter & Neutrino Mass Non-thermal & Thermal (CMB) Photons.

4 Plateau like HIGH 6,7 Li ABUNDANCE --- primordial? Abundance scatter is too small to accept DEPLETION of factor 3!? 7 Li BBN T = 1~3x10 6 K 7 Li(p,a) 4 He BBN prediction ~ > 3 Cosmological? Observed 7 Li Solar 7 Li Observed 6 Li Asplund et al., ApJ 644 (2006) Cosmological? -2.0 BBN prediction 6 Li BBN [Fe/H]

5 Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) Theory stands on precise particle and nuclear physics! Relevant nuclear reaction rates are known within the accuracy of 5-15%! Nuclear physics is not responsible for the Li problems of factor of ~ 3 for 7 Li, 3 order of magnitude for 6 Li! R. Boyd, C. Brune, G. Fuller, and M. Smith, Phys. Rev. D82, (2010). Ref. also to: Coc, Goriely, Xu, Saimpert, and Vangioni, ApJ 744, 158 (2012) Completely unstable Some stable states Cyburt, et al., JCAP 10, 032 (2010)

6 Axion, as a Dark Matter Candidate QCD Strong CP Problem Although QCD Lagangian (i.e. strong interaction) breaks CP symmetry, CP symmetry is NOT strongly violated experimentally with neutron dipole moment. Peccei-Quinn (1977) : U(1) is dynamically broken to restore CP symmetry. Cosmological Application Erken, Sikivie, Tam & Yang, PRL 108 (2012), r g r n Axions Bose-Einstein condensates CBR-g CBR-g, reddening T g,i = 3.02 T g,f = t n t e+e- t BBN t REC t NOW time a (Axion) Nambu-Goldstone Boson n-decoupling BBN Last-Photon (3min) Scattering Bose Einstein e +- -annihilation (3.8x10 5 yr) condensates! & g-reheating

Kusakabe, Balantekin, Kajino & Pehlivan, PL B718 (2013), SUSY DM particle stau X 0 : decays to non-thermal photons g NT. Spite plateau 7 Li-overproduction, resolved! Deuteron is destroyed by D(g NT,n)p!

Manifestation of neutrino compensation modes in polarization! 11

12 CMB from Neutrino & Extra Anisotropic Stress K. Kojima, T. Kajino & G. J. Mathews, JCAP 02 (2010), Extra anisotropic stress model Spectral index is set equal to be the WMAP-best fit value. π ext ~ r τ =10 18 Extra Primordial Anisotropic Stress Model is NOT an alternative model to INFLATION! Standard model l However, the mechanism of n (π n ) compensation makes a potential impact on π ext and n mass! π ext - Curvature perturbation is generated by Extra Anisotropic Stress π ext without assuming inflation-driven (pre-big-bang) perturbation. - It would make a great progress if we could know the nature of π ext and 12 its generation epoch before n-decoupling.

36 CONCLUSION [1] Big-Bang nucleosynthesis of hybrid axion-dm model (including radiative decay of relic SUSY particles) could solve the dark matter problem and the BBN lithium problems. [2] Total neutrino mass is constrained to be S m ν < 0.2 ev from the cosmological constraints on CMB anisotropies and polarizations in the existence of the primordial magnetic field < 3nG as a source of extra-anisotropic stress. [3] Supernova n-process could determine the mass hierarchy and sin 2 13 ~ 0.1 simultaneously. Inverted hierarchy is more preferred statistically. [4] Future observation of relic supernova neutrinos (RSNs) in megaton HK water-cherenkov detector could identify the missing SN component, and also neutrino oscillation pattern, adiabatic or nonadiabatic, depending on EOS.
