Can the thermonuclear reaction ""_(1)H^(2)+""_(1)H^(2)to""_(2)He^(4) be initiated in gaseous deuterium at a temperature of the order of 10^(8)K?

Answer»


SOLUTION :To initiate the NUCLEAR reaction, the DEUTERIUM nuclei must be brought together to within the radius of action of nucler forces. To do this they must surmount the COULOMB potential barrier. Take ACCOUNT of the Maxwellian distribution.
