Stellar nucleosynthesis of elements lighter than iron mostly occurs through this process.
One form of this process is catalyzed by muons. It can occur via the CNO cycle. One proposed form of  this process involves magnetic confinement of a plasma in a tokamak. The fact that the Coulomb barrier must be overcome for this process to occur is a common argument against its (*) "cold" type. Stellar nucleosynthesis of elements lighter than iron mostly occurs through this process. It occurs upon the detonation of a hydrogen bomb, where it is initiated by nuclear fission. For 10 points, name this process in which two or more nuclei are combined into one.
