Big-bang nucleosynthesis in Brans-Dicke cosmology with a varying Λ term related to WMAP

چکیده
We investigate the big-bang nucleosynthesis in a Brans-Dicke model with a varying Λ term using the Monte-Carlo method and likelihood analysis. It is found that the cosmic expansion rate differs appreciably from that of the standard model. The produced abundances of He, D, and barely Li are consistent with the observed ones within the uncertainties in nuclear reaction rates when the baryon to photon ratio η = (5.47 − 6.64)×10, which is in agreement with the value deduced from WMAP.

Nucleosynthesis constraints on an extended Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory.
In a natural extension of the Jordan{Brans{Dicke theory the scalar eld can couple much more strongly to dark than to visible matter. New limits on the coupling constants of the model are obtained from standard big{bang nucleosynthesis.

We studied the Einstein-Brans-Dicke cosmology in detail. The difference of the evolution of the universe is significant between Einstein-Brans-Dicke cosmology and standard big-bang model during the radiation-dominated era. The power-law evolution of the scale factor is fast enough to solve the cosmological puzzles and slow enough to avoid the graceful exit problem. However, the constraints from...
متن کاملAge of the universe constrained from the primordial nucleosynthesis in the Brans-Dicke theory with a varying cosmological term
The age of the universe is investigated from a viewpoint of the primordial nucleosynthesis in the Brans-Dicke model with a varying Λ term. It is shown that the age can be long enough compared with that of the globular clusters using two critical quantities recently reported from the HST observations: the Hubble constant, and deuterium abundances. Then it is shown that the present rate of variat...
متن کاملPrimordial Nucleosynthesis in Light of WMAP
Big bang nucleosynthesis has long provided the primary determination of the cosmic baryon density ΩBh , or equivalently the baryon-to-photon ratio, η. Recently, data on CMB anisotropies have become increasingly sensitive to η. The comparison of these two independent measures provides a key test for big bang cosmology. The first release of results from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (W...
متن کاملBig–bang Nucleosynthesis as a Probe of the Geometry of Superspace
We study the effect from a general ultralocal supermetric on primordial nucleosynthesis for Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Cosmology. The parameter λ of the supermetric changes the effective number of degrees of freedom, g∗, which modifies the Friedmann equation. This modification produces variations in the production of primordial 4He. The observations of the primordial abundances of light element...
