Using lasers to achieve this process is known as inertial confinement, and this process can occur inside of tokamaks.
This phenomenon can occur at room temperatures when catalyzed with muons, and the Lawson criterion defines the conditions at which this phenomenon starts. The C-N-O cycle is used to achieve this process, which can occur only when the Coulomb(*) Barrier is overcome. Using lasers to achieve this process is known as inertial confinement, and this process can occur inside of tokamaks. For iron and heavier elements, this reaction requires extra energy. For 10 points, name this phenomenon that fuels stars in which two lighter nuclei are combined to form a heavier nucleus.
This phenomenon can occur at room temperatures when catalyzed with muons, and the Lawson criterion defines the conditions at which this phenomenon starts.
