Primordial Nucleosynthesis of Lithium Isotopes

POSTER

Abstract

A key issue in modern cosmology involves the synthesis of Lithium in the early universe. We investigate the production of $^6$Li and $^7$Li in primordial nucleosynthesis. We discuss key nuclear reaction rates and the effects of lepton degeneracy.
