Quantum Effects on the Coulomb Logarithm for Energetic Ions During the Initial Thermalization Phase

We have discussed the quantum mechanical effects for the energetic charged particales produced in D-He^3 fusion reactions.Our results show that it is better to use the proper Coulomb logarithm at the high-energy end in describing the thermalization process,because the quantum mechanical effects on the Coulomb logarithm are not negligible,based on an assumption of binary collision.
