Description
In the astrophysical plasma, such as the early universe or inside stars, elements are created through thermonuclear reactions. Therefore, we can understand the evolution of elements through the network calculation of nuclear reactions. However, because of the medium effects of plasma, nuclear reactions in these environments are different from what we understand in free space. Therefore, a more realistic nuclear reaction network can be reproduced by correcting the effect of plasma on the nuclear reaction. In this work, we investigate the dynamical screening effect and the electromagnetic fluctuation as a correction of thermonuclear reactions and apply these effects to the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and solar core condition.
