Abstract

The current status of big bang nucleosynthesis is reviewed with an emphasis on the comparison between the observational determination of the light element abundances of D, ³He, ⁴He and ⁷Li and the predictions from theory. In particular, we present new analyses for ⁴He and ⁷Li. Implications for physics beyond the standard model are also discussed. In addition, limits on the effective number of neutrino flavors are updated.
