Description
Limits can be placed on nonstandard neutrino physics when big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) calculations employing standard neutrino physics agree with the observationally inferred primordial abundances of deuterium (D), $^3$He, $^4$He, and $^7$Li. These constraints depend most sensitively on the abundances of D and $^4$He. New observational determinations of the primordial D and/or $^4$He abundances could force revisions in BBN constraints on nonstandard neutrino physics.
