Exploring the Relation between \Gamma and H in the Early Universe

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the relationship between the reaction rate (\Gamma) of primordial elements and the Hubble parameter (H) during the transition from the radiation-dominated era to the matter-dominated era in the early universe. Participants seek resources for a deeper understanding of this relationship, referencing specific slides from a presentation as a starting point. A recommended resource for further reading is the book by Kolb & Turner, which provides detailed insights into early universe cosmology. The conversation emphasizes the need for accessible yet comprehensive materials on this complex topic. Overall, the quest for knowledge about early universe dynamics continues to be a significant area of interest in cosmology.

Does anyone know where I can learn more about the relation between the reaction rate ( \Gamma ) of the primordial elements and the Hubble parameter ( H ) at the early universe? Principaly at the transition from the radiation dominated era to the the matter dominated era?

Thanks. But I need something more detailed...
 

Thread 'Matter density right after the decoupling'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recombination_(cosmology) Was a matter density right after the decoupling low enough to consider the vacuum as the actual vacuum, and not the medium through which the light propagates with the speed lower than ##({\epsilon_0\mu_0})^{-1/2}##? I'm asking this in context of the calculation of the observable universe radius, where the time integral of the inverse of the scale factor is multiplied by the constant speed of light ##c##.

Thread 'Rutgers finds a transparent Einstein Cross - apparently a dark matter "halo".'

The formal paper is here. The Rutgers University news has published a story about an image being closely examined at their New Brunswick campus. Here is an excerpt: Computer modeling of the gravitational lens by Keeton and Eid showed that the four visible foreground galaxies causing the gravitational bending couldn’t explain the details of the five-image pattern. Only with the addition of a large, invisible mass, in this case, a dark matter halo, could the model match the observations...

Thread 'Big Bang and Infinite Universe'

Hi, I’m pretty new to cosmology and I’m trying to get my head around the Big Bang and the potential infinite extent of the universe as a whole. There’s lots of misleading info out there but this forum and a few others have helped me and I just wanted to check I have the right idea. The Big Bang was the creation of space and time. At this instant t=0 space was infinite in size but the scale factor was zero. I’m picturing it (hopefully correctly) like an excel spreadsheet with infinite...
