 In case (1), this effect is important only if the decay channels are relativistic,​ thus adding a lot of entropy into the universe. In this project, we will consider the injection of neutrons, so we will not consider this effect. ​ In case (1), this effect is important only if the decay channels are relativistic,​ thus adding a lot of entropy into the universe.

 +It is thus the goal of this project to investigate the effect of the injection of non-thermal neutrons on the light element abundances. ​
