Supersymmetry and Big Bang Nucleosynthesis: A sign of the Dark Universe >
Abstract
The epoch of Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) is extremely useful in constraining conditions in the early Universe and physics beyond the standard model. In this talk BBN is used to constrain supersymmetric extensions of the standard model of particle physics. It is also shown that certain anomalies in the light element abundances may find their explanation in the production of supersymmetric dark matter.
