Key Points

The aim is to introduce a new nucleosynthesis framework to address the A = 8 mass gap prior to dark matter emergence.
Proposes a non-linear, recursive reaction sequence involving lithium and boron
Utilizes mechanical compression work to drive nuclear excitation
Operates within a time frame of t < 10−2s to circumvent the 8Be bottleneck.
Achieves terminal stability at 42 MeV through recursive resonance loops
Shows effective operation within specified temporal limits before dark matter dominance
Proposes a novel pathway for understanding early universe nucleosynthesis.

Abstract

This white paper introduces the Lithium-Compression Path (LCP), a transformative nucleosynthesis framework designed to resolve the A = 8 mass gap. We propose a non-linear, recursive reaction sequence: H → Li → B → N → Li∗ → B → H → B → N → B∗. Unlike standard BBN 1, the LCP operates within a specific temporal window preceding the emergence of Dark Matter gravitational dominance (t < 10−2s).By utilizing mechanical compression work as the primary driver for nuclear excitation, the model cirumvents the 8Be bottleneck through high-frequency recursive resonance loops, achieving terminal stability at 42 MeV.
