I am a bit confused by the description presented by Larsen. He states very clearly that the W&L process relies upon the weak force for the energy generation mechanism. I thought that their use of the weak force was only to generate low momentum neutrons which actually has an energy cost and then this is followed by the absorption of these neutrons into the active nucleus. Why would the penetration of a neutron into a nucleus be considered weak force activity when it involves release of binding energy? Is Larsen avoiding the use of that term for any special reason?
Am I mistaken in my understanding that the strong force is associated with binding energy within the nucleus? I would consider their process a use of the weak force to generate neutrons followed by a strong force interaction to release the vast stored binding energy. There is still room for the binding energy to be released in another form instead of gamma rays which we know would be difficult to control once freed. There are numerous reactions listed in fusion sources where little gamma energy is released. In these cases I generally see two or more fairly massive particles being emitted that share the energy in the form of kinetic energy. Thus far I have found it difficult to determine exactly what energy mix is released with fusion type nuclear reactions. I am unable to understand why some release only kinetic energy while others emit only gammas and still other reactions result in the release of both types of energy. How does one obtain a solution to this problem?
