Cosmic Ray Nucleosynthesis and Lithium problems

Abstract

The book is an adaptation of the doctoral thesis titled "Probing and Raising the Lithium Problems with Hadronic Gamma Rays and Cosmic-Ray Nucleosynthesis". which was defended in June 2006 at the Department of Astronomy, University of Ilinois at Urbana-Champaign (Urbana, USA). The purpose of this monoghraphy is to present a current state of affairs and some new, fresh approaches to solving and probing the lithium problem(s) whose resolution, in the light of precision cosmology, can potentially lead to a major thurning point for modern day physics and cosmology.
