Efficacy of inertial confinement fusion experiments in light ion fusion cross section measurement at nucleosynthesis relevant energies

Frontiers in Physics, 2022
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments create a unique laboratory environment in which thermonuclear fusion reactions occur within a plasma, with conditions comparable to stellar cores and the early universe.

Merging White Dwarfs and Thermonuclear Supernovae

, 2012
Thermonuclear supernovae result when interaction with a companion reignites nuclear fusion in a carbon-oxygen white dwarf, causing a thermonuclear runaway, a catastrophic gain in pressure, and the disintegration of the whole white dwarf.

Electron Screening Effect on Stellar Thermonuclear Fusion [PDF]

Contributions to Plasma Physics, 2013
AbstractWe study the impact of plasma correlation effects on nonresonant thermonuclear reactions for various stellar objects, namely in the liquid envelopes of neutron stars, and the interiors of white dwarfs, low‐mass stars, and substellar objects. We examine in particular the effect of electron screening on the enhancement of thermonuclear reactions ...

Fusion of neutron rich oxygen isotopes in the crust of accreting neutron stars

, 2008
Fusion reactions in the crust of an accreting neutron star are an important source of heat, and the depth at which these reactions occur is important for determining the temperature profile of the star.

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Fast and Invertible Simplicial Approximation of Magnetic‐Following Interpolation for Visualizing Fusion Plasma Simulation Data

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce a fast and invertible approximation for fusion plasma simulation data represented as 2D planar meshes with connectivities approximating magnetic field lines along the toroidal dimension in deformed 3D toroidal spaces. Scientific variables (e.g., density and temperature) in these fusion data are interpolated following a complex ...

Massive stars as thermonuclear reactors and their explosions following core collapse

, 2009
Nuclear reactions transform atomic nuclei inside stars. This is the process of stellar nucleosynthesis. The basic concepts of determining nuclear reaction rates inside stars are reviewed. How stars manage to burn their fuel so slowly most of the time are

Solar Cycle Detected in Natural Tritium of Ice Layers Before the Nuclear Era

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 9, 16 May 2025.
Abstract The 11‐year cycle of the solar activity affects the production rate of cosmogenic isotopes. For tritium in precipitation, it has been just recently proven that this link exists. Here we show, for the first time, a tritium ice core time series which extends back to 1923, covering a time period that avoids the presence of artificial tritium from
