Which outcome results from exceeding the Lawson criterion in deuterium-tritium fusion?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the Lawson criterion means the fusion reaction generates enough heat to become self-sustaining via the mechanism of alpha heating, therefore ignition occurs rather than requiring continuous external energy because alpha particles deposit energy into plasma, increasing reaction rates.
