Thermonuclear reactions probed at stellar-core conditions with laser-based inertial-confinement fusion

2017

Nuclear reactions taking place in stars are not straightforward to study in laboratories on Earth. Now, inertial-confinement fusion implosion experiments are reported that mimic the conditions for the hydrogen-burning phase in main-sequence stars.
