Abstract

These calculations are motivated by the recent observation of a high 9 Be abundance in a very metal poor star and the measurement of a key reaction rate for 9 Be synthesis. We study 9 Be production within the non-uniform density model of big bang nucleosynthesis: regions of both high and low density with a nonstandard n/p ratio may have emerged out after the quark-hadron phase transition leading to nonconventional nucleosynthesis. In addition to the elements produced in the standard model (SM) ( 4 He, D, 3 He, 7 Li), 9 Be may be significantly produced
