**Assistant:**

> 1. Determine the redshift of the surface of last scattering (zLS) using the CMB temperature of 2.7255 K and the current temperature of the universe T0 = 2.7255 K. The surface of last scattering is approximately 1380 K, which corresponds to a redshift of zLS = 1089.9.
|
| 115 |
+
> 2. Calculate the scale factor at the surface of last scattering (aLS) using the redshift. The scale factor at the surface of last scattering is approximately aLS = 1/(1 + zLS) = 1/(1 + 1089.9) ≈ 9.143 × 10^-4.
|
| 116 |
+
> 3. Determine the Hubble parameter at the surface of last scattering (HLS). The Hubble parameter is related to the Hubble constant (H0) and the scale factor (a) by the equation H(z) = H0 * a^(-3/2). Since the radiation density is much larger than the matter density at the surface of last scattering, we can use the following approximation for the Hubble parameter: H(z) ≈ H0 * sqrt(1 + z) ≈ H0 * sqrt(1 + 1089.9) ≈ 1.06 × 10^4 * H0.
|
| 117 |
+
> 4. Calculate the age of the universe at the surface of last scattering (tLS). The age of the universe can be calculated using the Hubble parameter and the scale factor: t = 1/H. At the surface of last scattering, the age of the universe is approximately tLS ≈ 1/(1.06 × 10^4 * H0) ≈ 9.4 × 10^-10 * H0.
|
| 118 |
+
> 5. Determine the neutron-to-proton ratio at the surface of last scattering (n/p ratio). The neutron-to-proton ratio can be calculated using the equation n/p = exp(-Q/kT), where Q is the neutron-proton mass difference (1.293 MeV), k is the Boltzmann constant, and T is the temperature at the surface of last scattering. At the surface of last scattering, the neutron-to-proton ratio is approximately n/p ≈ exp(-1.293/0.801) ≈ 0.198.
|
| 119 |
+
> 6. Calculate the helium fraction (Yp) at the surface of last scattering (YpLS). The helium fraction can be calculated using the following equation: Yp = 2 * n/p, where n is the number of neutrons and p is the number of protons. At the surface of last scattering, the helium fraction is approximately YpLS ≈ 2 * 0.198 ≈ 0.396.

> 7. Determine the helium fraction at the surface of last scattering (YpLS). The helium fraction at the surface of last scattering is approximately YpLS ≈ 0.396.
