The use of D–D reactions to diagnose the lifetime of spin polarized fuel

If the nuclei remain polarized, spin polarized fuel can increase the fusion power produced in a reactor while using less fuel. This study assesses whether reactions between an unpolarized deuterium (D) beam and polarized deuterium nuclei can in principle experimentally ascertain the persistence of n...
