Baryonic Mass Baryonic dark matter: planets, black holes, … Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis:
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis only 12. 5% n left after decaying to p 75% H + 25% He (in mass) At T~109 K deuterium becomes stable and nucleosynthesis starts: A minute later p becomes too cold to penetrate the Coulomb barrier by p in d and the process stops. Rate np 2 abundances of d and 3 He decrease with b b=0. 04 0. 01 bh 2=0. 02
Non-Baryonic Dark-Matter Particles Neutralinos, photinos, axions, . . . all those damn super-symmetric particles you can’t see… that’s what drove me to drink… but now I can see them!

Acoustic Peaks In the early hot ionized universe, photons and baryons are coupled via Thomson scattering off free electrons. Initial fluctuations in density and curvature (quantum, Inflation) drive acoustic waves, showing as temperature fluctuations, with a characteristic scale - the sound horizon cst. At z~1, 090, T~4, 000 K, H recombination, decoupling of photons from baryons. The CMB is a snapshot of the fluctuations at the last scattering surface. Primary acoustic peak at rls ~ ctls ~ 100 co-Mpc or θ~1˚ ( ~200) – the “standard ruler”. Secondary oscillations at fractional wavelengths.

What is the Dark Energy? “ ‘Most embarrassing observation in physics’ – that’s the only quick thing I can say about dark energy that’s also true. ” …………………. . Edward Witten or - Cosmological constant in GR? - Failure of GR? Quintessence? Novel property of matter? - Why so small? in cosmology 10 -48 Gev 4 … …vs QFT: 108 Gev 4 (Electro. Weak) or 1072 Gev 4 (Planck) - Why becoming dominant now? (Anthropic principle? )
Generalized Dark Energy Cosmological constant Energy conservation during expansion Equation of state Generalized eq. of state e. g. Quintessence Friedman eq. and the fluctuation growth-rate eq. probe different parts of theory and can constrain w(t)
