Early universe constraints on time variation of fundamental constants
We study the time variation of fundamental constants in the early Universe. Using data from primordial light nuclei abundances, cosmic microwave background, and the 2dFGRS power spectrum, we put constraints on the time variation of the fine structure constant α and the Higgs vacuum expectation value...
