Baryonic Dark Matter and Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis
  The enclosed paper was submitted for publication in Ap.J Lett. in February 1992. It has been rejected on the grounds that it predicts primordial Deuterium abundance which is contradicted by observations and because it disagreed with published analysis and conclusions of previous authors. However, in a recent article in NATURE (14 April 1994) Vol. 368 pp. 599-603, Songalia, Cowie, Hogan and Rugers describe a recent measurement (November 1993) with the Keck 10-m Telescope, of the Deuterium abundance in a high redshift cloud between us and a distant quasar. They find D/H\approx 1.9-2.5 x10^{-4} in good agreement with our prediction D/H=(2.1+\- 0.35)x10^{-4}, which is larger by an order of magnitude than believed before. Songalia et al. found that the baryon density inferred from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis is "consistent with the amount of presently observed luminous matter comprising all the baryons in the Universe" while we found the same. We post here our unpublished 1991 paper, which was reported in international conferences and was distributed only as a preprint, mainly because of its physics and its sad moral: If you submit for publication a correct paper with important results that contradict the "party line" it has only slim chances to be accepted for publication.
