Abstract

The effect of Nuclear Interaction (NI) on the reactivity and the power deposited is investigated in the 3He–6Li plasma with attention to the injected deuteron beam. It is found that the NI improves the reactivity of  3He–6Li reaction by increasing deuteron beam-injection energy and decreasing the electron density from the amounts for Maxwellian. NI increases the fractional energy deposition from fast deuterons to bulk ions. At the high-temperatures, the share of NI on the slowing-down process reduces compared to Coulomb one. The fraction of delivered power via Coulomb and NI increases with bulk temperature. The increase in the fraction of delivered power becomes larger for low field densities due to NI. The increased power factor increases with the enhancement of deuteron beam energy. While the field ion is only lithium-6, no considerable increment can be observed. For a 3He plasma, the enhancement of the fraction reaches almost 15% for a deuteron beam energy 10 MeV.
