NUCLEAR PHYSICS FOR NUCLEAR FUSION ---Selective Resonant Tunneling in Light Nuclei Fusion---

The nuclear fusion data for deuteron-triton resonance near 100 keV are found to be consistent with the selective resonant tunneling model. The feature of this selective resonant tunneling is the selectivity. It selects not only the energy level, but also the damping rate (nuclear reaction rate). When the Coulomb barrier is thin and low, the resonance selects the fast reaction channel; however, when the Coulomb barrier is thick and high, the resonance selects the slow reaction channel. This mechanism might open an approach towards fusion energy with no strong nuclear radiation.
