We analyse the BOOMERANG and MAXIMA results in the context of models with \Omega _ { Total } = 1 and n _ { s } = 1 . We attempt to constrain three other parameters— h , \Omega _ { B } , and \Omega _ { m } —from these observations . We show that : ( a ) the value of \Omega _ { B } h ^ { 2 } is too high to be compatible with primordial nucleosynthesis observations at 95 % confidence level ( b ) universe with age greater than 12 Gyr is ruled out at 95 % confidence level and ( c ) the value of \Omega _ { m } h is too high to be compatible with the shape of the power spectrum of gravitational clustering . In effect , our analysis shows that models with \Omega _ { Total } = 1 and n _ { s } = 1 are ruled out by BOOMERANG and MAXIMA observations .
