DT fusion through the He "Bretscher state" accounts for of our existence via nucleosynthesis and for the possibility of fusion energy
Mark B. Chadwick, Mark W. Paris, Brian M. Haines
In big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), the deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion reaction, D(T,n), enhanced by the 3/2 resonance, is responsible for 99% of primordial He. This has b…

The earliest DT nuclear fusion discoveries
M. B. Chadwick, G. M. Hale, M. W. Paris +6
We describe the earliest measurements of the DT fusion cross section commissioned by the Manhattan Project, first at Purdue University in 1943 and then at Los Alamos 1945-6 and lat…
