Constraints on primordial black holes

B Carr, K Kohri, Y Sendouda… - Reports on Progress in …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We update the constraints on the fraction of the Universe that may have gone into primordial
black holes (PBHs) over the mass range 10− 5 to 10 50 g. Those smaller than∼ 10 15 g …

Big bang nucleosynthesis: Present status

RH Cyburt, BD Fields, KA Olive, TH Yeh - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2016 - APS
Big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) describes the production of the lightest nuclides via a
dynamic interplay among the four fundamental forces during the first seconds of cosmic time …

Supersymmetric unification without low energy supersymmetry and signatures for fine-tuning at the LHC

N Arkani-Hamed, S Dimopoulos - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
The cosmological constant problem is a failure of naturalness and suggests that a fine-
tuning mechanism is at work, which may also address the hierarchy problem. An example …

The objectives of the DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO)
are to open a new window of observation for gravitational wave astronomy and to obtain …

Primordial Nucleosynthesis: from precision cosmology to fundamental physics

F Iocco, G Mangano, G Miele, O Pisanti, PD Serpico - Physics Reports, 2009 - Elsevier
We present an up-to-date review of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). We discuss the main
improvements which have been achieved in the past two decades on the overall theoretical …

Review of cosmic phase transitions: their significance and experimental signatures

A Mazumdar, G White - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The study of cosmic phase transitions are of central interest in modern cosmology. In the
