Big Bang Nucleosynthesis*

Guy Moore

Physics Department, McGill University

I will review Big Bang nucleosynthesis, which uses particle physics, nuclear physics, and general relativity and cosmology to make predictions about the abundance of elements in the universe. Then I will review the current status of astrophysical measurements of those abundances.
