0 an isotope of hydrogen that is twice the mass of ordinary hydrogen: --
1 a type of hydrogen (= gas) that is twice as heavy as the usual form of hydrogen --
The same ion temperature was assumed as a reasonable estimate for the case of deuterium plasma.
The heat flux from deuterium to the target and to the shell is assumed to be zero.
The field particles that are responsible for ' dressing ' the bare test particle are the ions and electrons of the background deuterium plasma.
Thus, we re-examine theoretically the possibility of igniting hot spots in a super-compressed deuterium-tritium plasma.
We investigate the burning of the deuterium fuel in the cylindrical target.
Assessment of the interstellar processes leading to deuterium enrichment in meteoritic organics.
For the deuterium-tritium fuel with a mass of few mg one gets an optimum at few hundred g/cc.
The existence of high energy ions is further confirmed by the occurrence of fusion reactions in deuterium clusters.
