Full Description
This book presents a comprehensive compilation of S-factor data from more than 300 experiments on 18 key reactions in big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). It offers empirical fits to the available data and discusses the relevance of each reaction within the broader context of BBN. To support further research, the book includes an extensive bibliography that serves as a valuable resource for specialists in the field.
Written with clarity and precision, this book is designed to be accessible to graduate students in physics who have a solid understanding of quantum mechanics and basic nuclear physics. Researchers will find it an indispensable reference for exploring the experimental foundations of BBN and its implications for cosmology.
