2 What is Astroparticle physics ? Particle Physics Astronomy Astrophysics and cosmology PARTICLE ASTROPHYSICS Particle Astrophysics/Nuclear Astrophysics Use input from Particle Physics to explain universe: Big Bang, Dark Matter, …. Use techniques from Particle Physics to advance Astronomy Use particles from outer space to advance particle physics

3 Origin of Elements formed in: Big Bang Nucleo-synthesis Hot Stars Supernova Explosions Cosmic Ray Interactions

4 Big Bang time after big bang temperature of universe 3000 K 10 10 K 3 10 5 y 100 s Neutral hydrogen forms universe transparent to light fossil photon radiation frozen T (K) ~ 10 10 /t ½ (s) Equilibrium n/p ends Nucleosynthesis begins nuclei atoms

5 Particle Physics after Big Bang time since Big Bang

6 First Minute after Big Bang Production rates = Annihilation rates  equilibrium of particles and no nuclei formed N (neutron) N (proton) = e  m/kT When temperature falls below 10 10 K (1 MeV) reactions cease (  m = 1.3 MeV) In equilibrium:

7 Nucleosynthesis starts Deuterium necessary to start nucleosynthesis Helium formed from deuterium ( Difficult to continue because no stable mass 5, 8 nuclei)

8 Nucleosynthesis development tritium deuterium helium-4 helium-3 (free neutrons decay) Be, Li low levels

9 Element Production in Stars PP cycle : cold stars CNO cycle : hot stars

10 Heavy Element Production in Supernova neutrons protons CNO cycle : hot starsrp process : supernova explosions Nuclear cross-sections not well known: need accelerator measurements stable nuclei rp process

11 dark energy: 65% cold dark matter: 30% ordinary matter: 5% matter 1/3 dark energy 2/3 Composition of Universe

12 Dark Matter Evidence : Need to hold together Galaxy Clusters Explain Galaxy Rotation velocities Astronomy object candidates : Brown Dwarfs (stars mass <0.1 M sun no fusion) - some but not enough White Dwarfs ( final states of small stars) - some but not enough Neutron Stars/Black Holes ( final states of big stars.) - expected to be rarer than white dwarfs Gas clouds -  75% visible matter in the universe, but observable Particle Physics candidates: Neutrinos - Evidence for mass from oscillation, not enough Axions - Difficult to detect …. Neutralinos - Particle Physicist Favourite !

13 Nucleosynthesis rate gives baryon density Measured abundance of He, D  Fraction of baryons < 5% Must have non-baryonic particle dark matter  = N b /N , baryon number fraction

14 And number of Neutrino Families Predictions from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Measurements from LEP of width of Z resonance N = 3
