Abstract
The complex set of thermonuclear reactions that involve lithium-6 and lithium-7 compounds with either hydrogen or deuterium is investigated. A network of reaction rate equations that goes beyond the Jetter's cycle is written in terms of percentage abundances and reaction cross-sections for a number of processes: proton and neutron capture, breakup and fusion reactions, alpha capture, photodisintegration, etc. Initially each process involved will be scrutinized after a comprehensive literature search and state-of-the-art cross-section models will be proposed. Then the network will be solved under various initial conditions in order to determine the properties of this system as a nuclear fuel and the behavior in dense stellar plasmas.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
