Abstract
The Big Bang Nucleosynthesis theory accurately reproduces the abundances of light elements in the universes, except for the 7Li abundance. The calculated 7Li abundance with the baryon-to-photon ratio fixed by the observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is inconsistent with the observed lithium abundances on the surface of metal-poor halo stars, and this problem is called "7Li problem". Previous studies proposed to resolve this 7Li problem include photon cooling (possibly via the Bose-Einstein condensation of a scalar particle), the decay of a long-lived X particle (possibly the nextto- lightest supersymmetric particle), or an energy density of a primordial magnetic field (PMF). We review and analyze the results of these solutions both separately and in concert, and the constraint on the X particles and the PMF parameters from observed light-element abundances with a likelihood analysis. We can discover parameter ranges of the X particles which can solve the 7Li problem and constrain the energy density of the PMF.
