摘要: Fusion reactivities 〈σv〉 in the mean ion energy range 0.1–200 keV have been calculated for reactions: D(d,n), T(d,n), D(d, p), 3He(d, p) and T(t,2n); several different angular distributions considered plausible hot, magnetically confined plasmas. Calculations were carried out to a numerical accuracy of about 5% resulting variation reactivity with is found be well represented by simple polynomial function. The functions are plotted as function their coefficients given. Results calculations show that fusion very sensitive functional form speed distribution at energies below few keV, but roughly independent (within factor 2) above 10 most reactions investigated. Similarly, importance large small high energies.
