New insights on the role of nucleon exchange in nuclear fusion - EurekAlert
The way protons and neutrons move between two nuclei is key to understanding the processes in low-energy nuclear fusion reactions. As the nuclei draw close enough for the nuclear forces to become effective, neutrons and protons can migrate from one nucleus to another, potentially easing the fusion process. This study explored the influence on low-energy fusion processes of isospin composition, the property that differentiates protons from neutrons.
