Compilation and R-matrix analysis of Big Bang nuclear reaction rates

Abstract

We use the R-matrix theory to fit low-energy data on nuclear reactions\ninvolved in Big Bang nucleosynthesis. A special attention is paid to the rate\nuncertainties which are evaluated on statistical grounds. We provide S factors\nand reaction rates in tabular and graphical formats.\n Comment: 40 pages, accepted for publication at ADNDT, web site at\n http://pntpm3.ulb.ac.be/bigbang
