The reciprocal of the baryon-to-photon ratio, not a synonym for it. In a thermal photon gas this number ratio is proportional to, but differs from, the thermodynamic entropy per baryon. The exact photon entropy per photon is , so the photon-sector entropy per baryon in units of is about . The entropy sector must be specified when other relativistic species contribute.
With , , and , eliminate using . The prefactor is . Here is the mass-equivalent cosmological critical density; inserting an energy-density critical value without its conversion would give incorrect dimensions. A numerical estimate needs photon and baryon density parameters as additional inputs.
