Multiplication Processes in High-Density H-¹¹B Fusion Fuel

Figure 1

Fusion cross section and reactivity of H-¹¹B fuel. (a) Fusion cross section as a function of the CM energy, based on the analytic approximation of Nevins and Swain [3] below 3.5 MeV and, above, on TENDL evaluated data. Resonances of major interest for H-¹¹B fusion are bounded by dashed lines. (b) Reactivity as a function of ion temperature for H-¹¹B fuel and, as a term of comparison, DT fuel. Plots are based on the analytic approximations of Nevins and Swain [3] and Bosch and Hale [4], respectively. Republished from Belloni [5]. © IOP Publishing Ltd. 2021.
