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 ...

Analysis of micro‐discharges fine dynamics via x‐ray detection on the high voltage Padova test facility experiment

High Voltage, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1043-1052, August 2025.
Abstract The high voltage Padova test facility (HVPTF) is an experiment set in Padova, Italy, operating in the framework of the Neutral Beam Test Facility project of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). One of the purposes of HVPTF is to study the phenomenology of discharge events occurring between electrodes at high voltage ...

Observation of alpha-particles in recent D–T experiments on JET

Nuclear Fusion
The fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium, D ( T,n ) ^4 He is the main source of energy in future thermonuclear reactors. Alpha-particles ( ^4 He -ions) born with an average energy of 3.5 MeV transferring energy to the thermal plasma during their

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

Computer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
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 ...
