Density effect in d - d  catalyzed fusion with ortho-and para-enriched deuterium

Abstract

The ortho-para dependence of d-d fusion neutrons time spectra has been investigated using different target densities at similar temperatures. Even at the similar temperatures, the ortho-para effect on the fusion neutron yields in the liquid phase showed the opposite tendency from that in the gas phase. The result evidenced significant density dependence on resonant ddμ formation.
