Molecular 9Be+p Fusion Reaction

Abstract

We study (nuclear) fusion reactions in Beryllium. We argue that some are nuclear long-distance molecular processes of interest for low energy nuclear reactions. For these we develop a novel reaction model. We note a chain of reactions that can naturally arise in Beryllium target created by nonequilibrium proton reactions.
