| + | ===== Project Goal ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | To examine the effect of the neutrino magnetic moment on the primordial abundances. This will be done by considering the magnetic moment as a free parameter (presumably larger than the standard model prediction). This additional magnetic moment coupling will then keep the neutrinos coupled to the electrons past the traditional $\sim 1$ MeV temperature. Here we preliminarily consider the effect on primordial abundances when the magnetic pair-production process $e^{+}+e^{-}\leftrightarrow \nu +\bar{\nu}$ is included into the big bang nucleosynthesis code of F. Timmes. | ||

| We can see that the last term is of order unity when $g_\nu\sim \frac{m_p}{M_{pl}^{1/3}M_W^{2/3}}\sim 10^{-8}$, allowing us to rewrite the equation as: | We can see that the last term is of order unity when $g_\nu\sim \frac{m_p}{M_{pl}^{1/3}M_W^{2/3}}\sim 10^{-8}$, allowing us to rewrite the equation as: | ||
