Strong plasma screening in thermonuclear reactions: Electron drop model
P. A. Kravchuk, D. G. Yakovlev
We analyze enhancement of thermonuclear fusion reactions due to strong plasma screening in dense matter using a simple electron drop model. The model assumes fusion in a potential…
Large collection of astrophysical S-factors and its compact representation
A. V. Afanasjev, M. Beard, A. I. Chugunov +2
Numerous nuclear reactions in the crust of accreting neutron stars are strongly affected by dense plasma environment. Simulations of superbursts, deep crustal heating and other nuc…
A simple analytic model for astrophysical S-factors
D. G. Yakovlev, M. Beard, L. R. Gasques +1
We propose a physically transparent analytic model of astrophysical S-factors as a function of a center-of-mass energy E of colliding nuclei (below and above the Coulomb barrier) f…
Coulomb tunneling for fusion reactions in dense matter: Path integral Monte Carlo versus mean field
A. I. Chugunov, H. E. DeWitt, D. G. Yakovlev
We compare Path Integral Monte Carlo calculations by Militzer and Pollock (Phys. Rev. B 71, 134303, 2005) of Coulomb tunneling in nuclear reactions in dense matter to semiclassical…
Nuclear fusion in dense matter: Reaction rate and carbon burning
L. R. Gasques, A. V. Afanasjev, E. F. Aguilera +5
In this paper we analyze the nuclear fusion rate between equal nuclei for all five different nuclear burning regimes in dense matter (two thermonuclear regimes, two pycnonuclear on…
