← ScienceWhich consequence results when inertial electrostatic confinement fusion core ions lose energy?
A)Increased neutron production stability
B)Enhanced electron-positron annihilation rate
C)Decreased net fusion reaction rate✓
D)Improved plasma ablation energy coupling efficiently
💡 Explanation
Decreased net fusion reaction rate results when ions lose energy because the Coulomb barrier penetration probability falls rapidly, meaning fewer fusion events occur via quantum tunneling, therefore the reaction slows, rather than leading to increased neutron production or improved plasma coupling.
