Plasma screening enhancement of thermonuclear reaction rates

Plasma screening can enhance the thermonuclear reaction rates significantly. The most pronounced effect takes place in the white dwarf cores and neutron star envelopes; there the enhancement factor can reach as tenths orders of magnitude. Here thermodynamically consistent description of this effect,...

Description
Summary:Plasma screening can enhance the thermonuclear reaction rates significantly. The most pronounced effect takes place in the white dwarf cores and neutron star envelopes; there the enhancement factor can reach as tenths orders of magnitude. Here thermodynamically consistent description of this effect, which does not violate of the detailed balance principle, is discussed.
