Which phenomenon sharply reduces fusion reactor output as plasma density decreases?

💡 Explanation

Reduced plasma density leads to a decreased probability of alpha particles colliding with thermal ions and thus depositing their energy via Alpha Heating. Therefore, sustained fusion energy output drops, rather than from radiation, confinement, or impurity effects, because the energy is not captured.
