Astrophysical applications of few-nucleon physics Original Research Article

Some applications of few-nucleon physics to Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, solar neutrinos, and neutron stars have been reviewed. The future in all of these areas is very exciting as improved measurements of the light element abundances, solar neutrino fluxes, and neutron star properties are planned. On the nuclear physics side new theoretical calculations and measurements will improve our understanding of the underlying physics. Together these effors will lead to a greater understanding of both our Universe and few-nucleon dynamics.
