Quantum effects on plasma screening for thermonuclear reactions in laser-generated plasmas

David Elsing, Adriana Pálffy, Yuanbin Wu

A quantum plasma screening model based on the density matrix formalism is used to investigate theoretically the thermonuclear reactions ${}^{13}$C($\alpha$, $n$)${}^{16}$O and ${}^2$H($d$, $n…
