deuterium and tritium fuse producing helium and a neutron
the helium is fully ionized and thus could also be called an alpha particle
A fusion reaction.
Nuclear fusion was demonstrated on Earth in a particle accelerator called a cyclotron in the early 1930s, but no useful energy was produced. Fusion energy was also released during H-bomb testing by the US, USSR, UK, and France in the 1950's, but the resulting energy release was so brief that it could not be used as a practical source of energy.
These are not chemical reactions but thermonuclear reactions.
helium-4
It all comes from thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen inside the sun.
thermonuclear fusion and hydrogen becoming helium... :)
At the core of our sun, Helium is created by the thermonuclear fusion of Hydrogen.
It simply means that thermonuclear fusion happens.
The earth's atmosphere is not hot enough for thermonuclear fusion to take place.
On the order of 10 million K.
The high temperatures produced by the explosion of a fission bomb are necessary for initiating the fusion reaction in a thermonuclear device because fusion reactions require extremely high temperatures and pressures to overcome the repulsive forces between positively charged nuclei. The fission explosion provides the energy needed to achieve these conditions, thereby allowing the fusion reaction to take place.
thermonuclear fusion
By thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium.
thermonuclear fusion
No. Other than through thermonuclear fusion.
thermonuclear hydrogen fusion
A fusion reaction.
