The observations of the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, by the WMAP satellite, has provided a determination of the baryonic density of the Universe (Ωbh2) with an unprecedented precision. Using this value, the primordial abundances of the light elements can be calculated in the framework of the Standard Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis model (SBBN). While the agreement is excellent for D and good for 4He, there is a difference of a factor of ~3 for 7Li. In addition, in a few halo stars, 6Li has also been observed at a level well above SBBN predictions. To enable a more reliable calculation of these 7Li and 6Li yields, two nuclear reactions important for the nucleosynthesis of 7Li and 6Li have been studied experimentally: D(α, γ)6Li and 7Be(d,p)2α. Even though, the lithium primordial production is not well understood, BBN can be used to constrain theories beyond the standard model, for instance, scalar-tensor theories of gravity.
