Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the Observed Abundances of Light Elements

Craig J. Hogan

Published 1996-09-19Version 1

The predictions of Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis are summarized and compared with observations of abundances of helium in HII regions, deuterium in quasar absorbers, deuterium and helium-3 in the Galaxy, and lithium in metal-poor stars. It is concluded that the prospects are good for a precise test of the theory.
