SITP Wine and Cheese Seminar: Hints for a Non-Zero Lepton Asymmetry of Primordial Origin

-
Location

Campus, Varian 312

Speaker
Mauro Valli (Stony Brook University and INFN - Rome Sapienza) In Person

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) is one of the greatest outcomes of the Standard Model of Particle Physics together with the so-called concordance cosmological model ΛCDM. In this talk, I will first introduce PRyMordial: A new package to make state-of-the-art predictions of key cosmological observables in the Standard Model and beyond. Then, I will move  to discuss the latest observational inference of primordial helium-4 and deuterium.
