Resolving conclusions about the early Universe requires accurate nuclear measurements

Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics 2021-04-23 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Nuclear physics experiments give reaction rates that, via modelling and comparison with primordial abundances, constrain cosmological parameters. The error bars of a key reaction, \dpg, were tightened in 2020, bringing to light discrepancies between different analyses and calling for more accurate measurements of other reactions.
