Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis

(2015)
A critical review is given of the current status of cosmological nucleosynthesis. In the framework of the Standard Model with 3 types of relativistic neutrinos, the baryon-to-photon ratio, $$\eta$$, corresponding to the inferred primordial abundances of deuterium and helium-4 is consistent with the independent determination of $$\eta$$ from observations of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. However the primordial abundance of lithium-7 inferred from observations is significantly below its expected value. Taking systematic uncertainties in the abundance estimates into account, there is overall concordance in the range $$\eta = (5.7-6.7)\times 10^{-10}$$ at 95% CL (corresponding to a cosmological baryon density $$\Omega_B h^2 = 0.021 - 0.025$$). The D and He-4 abundances, when combined with the CMB determination of $$\eta$$, provide the bound $$N_\nu=3.28 \pm 0.28$$ on the effective number of neutrino species. Other constraints on new physics are discussed briefly.

We review the present status of QCD corrections to weak decays beyond the leading logarithmic approximation including particle-antiparticle mixing and rare and CP violating decays. After presenting the basic formalism for these calculations we discuss in detail the effective hamiltonians for all decays for which the next-to-leading corrections are known. Subsequently, we present the phenomenological implications of these calculations. In particular we update the values of various parameters and we incorporate new information on m_t in view of the recent top quark discovery. One of the central issues in our review are the theoretical uncertainties related to renormalization scale ambiguities which are substantially reduced by including next-to-leading order corrections. The impact of this theoretical improvement on the determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is then illustrated in various cases.
