Enhancement of fusion reactivities using non-Maxwellian energy distributions
Ben I. Squarer, Carlo Presilla, Roberto Onofrio
We discuss conditions for the enhancement of fusion reactivities arising from different choices of energy distribution functions for the reactants. The key element for potential ga…

State dependence of tunneling processes and thermonuclear fusion
Roberto Onofrio, Carlo Presilla
We discuss the sensitivity of tunneling processes to the initial preparation of the quantum state. We compare the case of Gaussian wave packets of different positional variances us…
