Erratum: Precise and accurate determination of the8B decay spectrum [Phys. Rev. C83, 065802 (2011)]

Abstract

The uncertainty on the Argonne neutrino spectrum shown in Fig. 27(c) is incorrect. Here, we bring the same figure with the correct uncertainty as given in Ref. [19]. We note that this uncertainty includes the theoretical uncertainty from the recoil-order corrections which is roughly half as large as the uncertainty from the α-spectrum measurement [19]. The conclusions of the paper are unaffected. FIG. 27. (Color online) (a) Neutrino spectrum calculated using the E x distribution obtained in the present study neglecting recoil terms and radiative corrections. Note that the end point of the neutrino spectrum (16.96 MeV) is slightly outside the energy range chosen for the plot due to insufficient numerical precision above 16 MeV. (b) 1σ statistical and systematic uncertainties on the present neutrino spectrum. (c) Relative deviation with respect to the neutrino spectrum calculated using the Argonne E x distribution.

Precision Big Bang Nucleosynthesis with the New Code PRIMAT

“…This is, indeed, the rate [37] that we have been using so far, in particular in PRIMAT, together with an estimated factor of three uncertainty. Besides, it has long be known [8,38,39] that an increase of this rate by factor of >30 is required to have a significant effect on 7 Be/ 7 Li. Hence, this new measurement [33] is welcome as it puts the 7 Be+d rate and uncertainty on firmer ground but it also confirms that this reaction rate is too small to affect BBN, even at the percent level (contrary to Ref.…”
