TL;DR Summary
Any help how to find the right value of the baryon asymmetry or the baryon density expected from the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) of order ##\sim 10^{-10}## in a paper
I'm trying to understand from this paper

https://pdg.lbl.gov/2020/reviews/rpp2020-rev-bbang-nucleosynthesis.pdf

What is the value of the baryon to photon ratio ##\eta=n_b/n_\gamma## as named in figure 24.1, but I can't get from the figure or the paper how ##\eta## is of order ##10^{-10}##

Any help in reading such papers?

I mean I found in another study that the value of ##\eta## as expected from BBN is of order: ##6.07\pm0.33 \times 10^{-10} ##

So where can we find such value in the mentioned paper?

That's a review. It's job is to summarize and point you to the references. To understand the details, read the references.

I was reading a study about baryogenesis and the authors cited the mentioned paper and its ##\eta## value, so I just wonder how they concluded this value

It literally briefly mentions how things are done and give you the references to where the details can be found.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
