NUCLEAR FUSION FOR STARS AND SUSTAINABILITY

Paper ID: 208 [Abstract]

It is well known that nuclear fusion is regarded as the main driving phenomenon of nucleosynthesis in stars and the source of energy emissions. It is not news any more that nuclear fusion is considered to be a game changer in our quest to achieve sustainable clean energy solution.  So far, the main process being experimented  is the deuteron-triton  reaction resulting in the alphas and neutrons.  More recently, the attention is being paid to aneutronic processes such as proton -boron interactions.

In this talk, we examine the processes such as proton-boron, 3He-deuteron reactions which are cleaner in the sense that there are no neutrons nor radioactive residuals in them. 

There are interesting theoretical complications regarding the plasma temperatures and the statistical physics.  A progress in these aspects will contribute to better models of nuclear astrophysics of stars and also better fusion devices. We will provide an overview of the issues and possible experimental and theoretical investigations.
