Scientific paper

The abundance of the light elements in the big bang are examined in the context of the uncertainties in the nuclear cross-sections and the number of neutrino pairs. In view of the nuclear uncertainties, the deuterium yield is uncertain by 25 percent, the helium-3 by 40 percent, the lithium-7 by a factor two and the helium-4 abundance by less than 2 percent. The observed abundances of deuterium, lithium-7 and helium-4 are compatible with an universe with a density between 3 and 7 x 10 to the -31 g/cu cm and with two or three low mass neutrino pairs.
