Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and Related Observations

  • Conference paper
Dark Matter in Astro- and Particle Physics

Abstract

The current status of big bang nucleosynthesis is summarized. Particular attention is paid to recent observations of 4He and 7Li and their systematic uncertainties. Be and B are also discussed in connection to recent 7Li observations and the primordial 7Li abundance.
