大爆炸核合成的實驗挑戰 – 鋰豐度問题


SEMINAR:- Experimental Challenge to the Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis(BBN) – The Lithium Problem in BBN

The primordial nucleosynthesis right after the big bang (BB) is one of the key elements that support the BB model. BBN is well known that it produced primarily light elements, and explains reasonably well the element abundance. However, there remains one serious problem, call the Li problem in BBN. The BBN simulation together with recent detailed micro-wave background measurements BBN explain most light elements including D, He-4, etc, but the Li-7 abundance is over predicted roughly by a factor of three. 
 
The primordial Li-7 was considered to be produced mostly by the electron capture of Be-7 in the late stage of BBN. Thus, the question for nuclear physics side is whether Be-7 is overproduced or less destructed during the BBN stage. Since the production of Be-7 is by the He-3(α,γ) which is quite well known, the problem may be the destruction rate of Be-7. The Be-7(n,p) reaction is considered to be the main destruction reaction, but it is well investigated and thus it seems hard to change the rate by a factor of three. The next possible channel was Be-7(n,α) reaction, and almost no experimental works reported before. Recently, several experiments were performed or being performed by the direct and indirect methods. I will discuss these reaction studies of Be-7(n,α), including our activities and the result. The conclusion is that the reaction rate proposed by Wagoner et al. and currently being used is roughly one order of magnitude too large. Thus, the Li problem has not been solved, giving a more difficulty.

(重播)零距離科學3 – 太陽系的秘密


科學家陸續發現到愈來愈多太陽系以外的行星。這些離奇古怪的天體和行星系統令科學家不得不重新思考太陽系的形成之謎。原來太陽系的行星並非從誕生一刻就在固定的軌道上運行。專家估計,有些行星曾經向內遷移,有些則被彈射到太陽系的外圍,甚至有理論指,太陽系中還有一個消失了的行星。太陽系並非一直以現在的方式運作,它也經歷過一些很激烈的變化,因此,地球的存在絕對算得上是奇蹟。
