| === Monday, June 9 === | === Monday, June 9 === | ||
| + | * decided on project topic | ||
| + | * started familiarizing with BBN code and researching required inputs | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Tuesday, June 10 === | ||
| + | * wrote wrapper script enabling us to vary some of the constants like neutron and proton mass, gravitational constant, Hubble parameter etc. | ||
| + | * ran calculations of BBN dependence on grav. constant; H0 seems to be unused by the code, so varying it does not lead anywhere. | ||
| + | * varying $\Lambda_{QCD}$ and the neutron magnetic moment both incluence the deuteron formation rate $p(n,\gamma)d$. Hence we rewrote this rate with parameters in the ''bigbang.f90'' code and [[group2_code|wrote a wrapper script]] which reads in a table with sets of parameters and calculates the BBN composition | ||
| + | * started figuring out how the proton-neutron mass splitting and the deuteron properties depend on our input parameters | ||
| + | * fixed several bugs in the code, continued familiarizing ourselves with Fortran and the BBN code | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Wednesday, June 11 === | ||
| + | * produced plots of BBN abundance as function of grav. constant | ||
| + | * tried to calculate and fit the $p(n,\gamma)d$ rate to use as input; partially succeeded | ||
| + | === Thursday, June 12 === | ||
| + | * produced data and plots for BBN abundance as function of $\Lambda_{QCD}$ and $\mu_n$ | ||
| + | * also looked at the individual effects of $\Lambda_{QCD}$ on the actual inputs to the BBN calculation (neutron-proton mass splitting, neutron life time, deuteron energy, $p(n,\gamma)d$ rate) and identified the life time effect as the main effect driving the change in the <sup>4</sup>He abundance. | ||
