abstract
We present an up-to-date review of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). We discuss the main improvements which have been achieved in the past two decades on the overall theoretical framework, summarize the impact of new experimental results on nuclear reaction rates, and critically re-examine the astrophysical determinations of light nuclei abundances. We report then on how BBN can be used as a powerful test of new physics, constraining a wide range of ideas and theoretical models of fundamental interactions beyond the standard model of strong and electroweak forces and Einstein's general relativity.

Extending a BBN code yields constraints Δα/α = 2 ± 51 ppm (mass variation) and 2 ± 22 ppm (G variation) at 68% CL, showing these models do not solve the lithium problem.
Updated bounds on constant and redshift-dependent neutrino degeneracy parameters are derived from Planck+SPT+ACT CMB, DESI BAO, and BBN data, with a reported 95% CL preference for non-zero positive ξ_νe at BBN in the non-degenerate scenario.
