What reaction in giant stars for the fusion of hydrogen to form helium?

Fusion could occur with two deuterium nuclei, or one deuterium and one tritium. Helium would be formed in both cases, but does not take part in the fusion itself. The most likely reaction of deuterium and helium would be: D + He --> LiM --> D + D + D The "M" superscript indicates an excited metastable nucleus that instantly breaks apart. Another reaction is similarly likely: D + He --> LiM --> D + He Either way you are making no progress with fusion, the net reaction(s) probably even consumes energy instead of releasing it (my references don't supply energy figures for these reactions). Also such reactions would require higher temperature and pressure than DD or DT fusion do. Note: deuterium/helium-3 fusion does work and releases energy (at higher temperature and pressure than DD or DT fusion) but only produces helium and neutrons. Helium-3 is also rare. In practice, the original answer is absolutely right. However the above reactions will happen under conditions of temperature and pressure that permit D/He fusion, but as I already said they get nowhere, they are dead end reactions.

it happened like normal hurricanes happen, but instead of getting smaller when hitting land, it somehow got bigger, scientists are working it out.
