Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract The burning kinetics of dense hot plasma of composition D + D, D + T, D + 3 He in devices with inertial-magnetic confinement concept is considered. Calculations of the burning kinetics of main fusion reactions in plasma with use of modern refined data on reaction rates at the appropriate temperatures and several types of energy loss for radiation have been made. An analysis of the energy yield is performed taking into account the change in plasma temperature and the heating of burning area in equilibrium plasma, which is described by Maxwell distribution, as well as the analysis of energy exchange between two adjacent burning volumes with different temperatures. Based on all the data found, estimates of the burning properties of plasma in thermonuclear devices with inertial-magnetic confinement of plasma have been made.
