Nuclear scattering effects on the neutron emission in fusion plasmas

Ion reactions and elastic scatterings in fusion plasmas of H and He nuclides are discussed as they can be observed in the neutron emission spectrum (NES). New calculations are presented on radio-frequency driven multi-step processes in ³HeD plasmas involving knock-on scattering whose relative importance is discussed besides use for new plasma studies. © 2008 Springer-Verlag.
