Diproton production, and its influence on the hydrogen burning cycle

  • 1. Manitoba Univ., Winnipeg (Canada). Cyclotron Lab.

Description

Calculations using the neutron tunnelling model indicate that diproton production is the dominant mechanism by which the 3He(3He, 4He)2p reaction can proceed below the Coulomb barrier. The implications of this result are discussed in relation to the hydrogen burning cycle in the sun. (Auth.)
