Abstract
We present the results of a search for the production of Light elements in (p) over bar p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Momentum, time of flight, and dE/dx measurements are used to distinguish nuclei from elem entary particles. A production ratio for deuterium to hydrogen is calculate d and compared to the primordial value of the big bang model. Some evidence for tritium is found and none for helium isotopes.
