The conventional D+D fusion reaction, using mass differences, is:
D + D --> 4He + 23.847 MeV
OK, I get it. Am I correct that the conventional theory says this
reaction doesn't really occur (it's either 3He + n, or 3H + H), or
if it did somehow, the energy would be emitted as gamma ray, and
not as heat?
As noted on page 9 of:
http://www.mtaonline.net/%7Ehheffner/DeflationFusion2.pdf
the standard branching ratios are:
D + D --> T(1.01 MeV) + p(3.03 MeV) (4.03 MeV, 50%)
D + D --> 3He(0.82 MeV) + n(2.45 MeV) (3.27 MeV, 50%)
D + D --> 4He( 76 keV) + gamma (23.8 MeV) (23.9 MeV, 1x10-6)
The D+D --> 4He happens about 1 time in a million.
