Which consequence results from excessive electron shielding during inertial confinement fusion?

💡 Explanation

A higher electron density causes increased screening; this Coulomb Barrier Penetration is reduced because fusion requires overcoming repulsive electrostatic forces, therefore a lower rate relative to predictions, rather than facilitating confinement.
