PREACT Reaction Rate Tables
- Given:
- beam energy, Eb, beam mass, Ab
- target plasma ion Temperature, Ti, and mass, Ai.
- For each charge exchange reaction:
- cold target table: sigma(Eb/Ab)*vb
- warm target table: <sigma*v>(Eb/Ab,Ti/Ai)
- average reagent energy <Ei/Ai>(Eb/Ab,Ti/Ai)
- average reagent velocity <v.vb/(|vb|> (Eb/Ab,Ti/Ai)
- For each impact ionization reaction:
- cold & warm target tables (as with charge exchange).
- For each fusion reaction:
- cold target table: sigma(Eb)*vb
- warm target table: <sigma*v>(Eb,Ti)
- thermonuclear table: <<sigma*v>>(Ti)
- gyro-averaged table: <sigma*v>gyro(<E>,delta(E))
