Thermonuclear reaction listing

The following 10 elements, including T, are well known as nuclear fusion fuels: p, D, T, 3He, 4He, 6Li, 7Li, 9Be, 10B, 11B, (12C, 13C), where 12C and 13C are considered only in the calculation of Q value. Accordingly the number of the thermonuclear reactions is 55, and 78, if including carbon elements. The reactions have some branches. For the branches having two and three reaction products, the reaction products, Q value and threshold energy are calculated by using a computer. We have investigated those of the branches having more than three products from the papers of Ajzenberg-Selove and so on. And also, by the same papers, we check whether the above mentioned branch has been observed or not. The results are as follows: (I) the number of reactions which have Q < 0 in the all branches is 3, (II) that of reactions which have some Q > 0 branches only with γ ray production, and Q < 0 in the other branches is 7(3), (III) that of reactions which have some branches with Q > 0 and neutron production is 36(17), and (IV) that of reactions whose branch with Q > 0 does not produce neutrons is 9(3). The value in the parentheses shows the number of the case of the carbon elements. For 55 thermonuclear reactions induced by lighter nuclides than 11B, the reaction products, the values of Q and threshold energy, and the papers with reaction cross section data are presented in the tables.
