Abstract:The initial interest in p-11B fusion, which produces three (3) alpha particles with
total energy of 8.7 MeV, was regained the last few years, due to the important experimental
measurements on alpha particle production and theoretical and numerical investigations. The
re-evaluation of proton-boron fusion, as an important vector for “aneutronic” energy production,
is based on the consideration of the “chain reactions alpha heating effect and the related
avalanche effect”, as the important process, for … Show more
