Does anyone know how (or if) in theory the proton's radius would effect rates of fusion? Would the proton have to be larger or smaller to increase rates of fusion? A smaller charge radius means less coulomb repulsion. When enough electrons shield enough positive charge from the proton, two

We've already gone over the new Science paper on muonic hydrogen elsewhere, but I saw a comment on E-Cat World that I thought was worth bringing up here. According to a summary of the Science article in Ars Technica [1], the problem I alluded to in the title is that the charge radius of the

Perhaps the proton's radius can be both increased and descreased under certain conditions. Does anyone know how (or if) in theory the proton's radius would effect rates of fusion? Would the proton have to be larger or smaller to increase rates of fusion? Harry On Sat, Jan 26, 2013 at 6:16 PM,
