Molecular 9 Be + $p$ fusion reaction

Abstract

Here, we study (nuclear) fusion reactions in beryllium. We argue that some are nuclear long-distance molecular processes of interest for low-energy nuclear reactions. For these, we develop a novel reaction model. We note a chain of reactions that can naturally arise in beryllium target created by nonequilibrium proton reactions.
