Abstract

Four light isotopes - D, ^3He, ^4He and ^7Li - were produced by nuclear reactions a few seconds after the big bang. New measurements of ^3He in the ISM by Gloeckler and Geiss and of deuterium in high redshift hydrogen clouds by Tytler and his collaborators provide further confirmation of big-bang nucleosynthesis and new insight about the density of ordinary matter (baryons).
