Abstract
A model for the decay of Planck particles is specified and the light elements synthesis resulting from it is described. The calculated values of 4 He/H, 7 Li/H, and 12 C/H are in close agreement with observations while those of D/H and 3 He/H are in agreement to within a factor of about 2. The model predicts a plateau under 9Be but seemingly not under 11 B. The plateau under 9 Be corresponds to a freezing temperature T9 = 0.5 whereas the calculated freezing temperature is T9 ≃ 0.62.
