The Baryon Density Through The ( Cosmological ) Ages
The light element abundances probe the baryon density of the universe within a few minutes of the Big Bang. Of these relics from the earliest universe, deuterium is the baryometer of choice. By comparing its primordial abundance inferred from observations with that predicted by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), the early universe baryon density is derived. This is then compared to independent est...
متن کاملCosmological Deuterium Abundance and the Baryon Density of the Universe
Standard big bang nucleosynthesis (BBNS) promises accurate predictions of the primordial abundances of deuterium, helium-3, helium-4 and lithium-7 as a function of a single parameter. Previous measurements have nearly always been interpreted as confirmation of the model (1). Here we present a measurement of the deuterium to hydrogen ratio (D/H) in a newly discovered high redshift metal-poor gas...
متن کاملThe Cosmological Baryon Density from Deuterium in Qso Spectra
The primordial D/H ratio now provides the best measure of the cosmological density of baryons. We describe in detail how we deduce the D/H ratio from absorption lines in the spectra of quasars, and we present our first two measurements of D/H in different QSOs, which agree to within the random errors. We describe how we correct D/H for blending with Lyman alpha forest H lines. For our two QSOs ...
متن کاملCan Gluons Trace Baryon Number ?
QCD as a gauge non-Abelian theory imposes severe constraints on the structure of the baryon wave function. We point out that, contrary to a widely accepted belief, the traces of baryon number in a high-energy process can reside in a non-perturbative configuration of gluon fields, rather than in the valence quarks. We argue that this conjecture can be tested experimentally, since it can lead to ...
متن کاملComplementary Measures of the Mass Density and Cosmological Constant
The distance-redshift relation depends on the amount of matter of each type in the universe. Measurements at different redshifts constrain differing combinations of these matter densities and thus may be used in combination to constrain each separately. The combination of Ω0 and ΩΛ measured in supernovae at z ∼ 1 is almost orthogonal to the combination probed by the location of features in the ...
