A note on the quantum-tail effect on fusion reaction rate
Alexander L. Zubarev
TL;DR
This paper investigates the quantum tail effect on nuclear fusion reaction rates, challenging the common practice of averaging the cross-section over the momentum distribution.
Contribution
It provides a critical analysis of the quantum tail effect, disputing the validity of the averaging method used in previous studies.
Findings
Quantum tail effect influences fusion reaction rates.
Averaging the cross-section over momentum distribution is not supported.
Results question previous assumptions in fusion rate calculations.
Abstract
A study is made of the power-law tail effect in the quantum particle distribution over momentum on the nuclear fusion reactions. Our results do not support the idea of averaging the fusion reaction cross-section over the momentum distribution postulated and used in many publications.
