Evaluated Integral Cross Sections of the 3H(t,2n)4He Reaction in the Low-Energy Region Obtained with Regard to Electron Screening

Abstract

procedure is considered for analyzing ³H(t,2n)⁴He reaction proceeding in a gas environment with regard to electron screening [1–4]. Results from such an analysis are presented. An electron screening potential of 121 eV is obtained. The magnitude of this potential is three times higher than the one given in [5]. Starting with a 100 eV energy of particle interaction the cross sections of ³H(t,2n)⁴He reaction are calculated using the above potential. The reaction rates are calculated using the evaluated cross sections in the lowenergy region. Enhancement factors for cross sections and reaction rates are defined.
