while more uncertain (Cecil and Wilkinson 1984; Kammeraad etal. 1993) is the

He, that is being considered
as a possible plasma diagnostic in modem fusion experiment (Murphy etal.
2001). One alpha particle is created for each neutron in the fusion reaction:
d + t →α (3.5 MeV) + n (14 MeV).
In d–t fusion, 80% of the energy released goes into 14 MeV neutrons and only
the remaining 20% into charged particles ...
