TOWARDS THE FIRST PLASMA-ELECTRON SCREENING EXPERIMENT

Towards the first plasma-electron screening experiment

The enhancement of fusion reaction rates in a thermonuclear plasma by electron screening of the Coulomb barrier is an important plasma-nuclear effect that is present in stellar models but has not been experimentally observed.Experiments using inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions may provide a unique opportunity to Slippers observe this impo
