Description
The nuclear dd-fusion reaction can proceed by three possible channels: 3H + p (≈ 50%); 3He + n (≈ 50%); 4He + γ (≈ 10-7%).
Interest in dd - fusion has been aroused by both fundamental research and astrophysics [1] and applied science, particularly in the field of fusion reactor development [2]. In 1967-1968 at the Kurchatov Institute, the idea of studying the nuclear dd - fusion reaction using polarised deuteron beams was proposed [3]. The development of this idea was continued in the PolFusion (Polarised Fusion) nuclear physics experiment.
The PolFusion nuclear physics experiment aims to study the reaction of nuclear dd-synthesis with polarized source particles in the low energy region. The experiment is planned to measure the scattering asymmetries of dd-synthesis reaction products in the final state at different mutual orientation of the spins of colliding deuterons in the energy range 10-100 keV.
The authors will present an overview of the status of the experiment.
