Some devices for carrying out this process are characterized by the rotational transform, which is the inverse of the safety factor.
Some devices for carrying out this process are characterized by the rotational transform, which is the inverse of the safety factor. The efficiency of this process is expressed by the "triple product" of density, temperature, and confinement time. Modern experiments on this process include the Wendelstein 7-X and ITER, which are examples of a stellerator and (*) tokamak, respectively. The CNO cycle and the proton-proton chain are astronomical mechanisms for this process, which generally doesn't produce elements heavier than iron. The world's energy problems could be solved by achieving this process at room temperature, the so-called "cold" variety of this process. The Sun's energy is produced by, for 10 points, what process in which two nuclei merge into one nucleus?
