Abstract

Nuclear fusion rates can be enhanced or suppressed by polarization of the reacting nuclei. In a magnetic fusion reactor, the depolarization time is estimated to be longer than the reaction time.Received 25 May 1982DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.49.1248©1982 American Physical Society
