Reply to comment by ChipotleMayoFusion in Why not use hydrogen and deuterium in fusion reaction rather than tritium and deuterium? by Curious_user4445

Thanks.

wait. So the better the isolation i.e. energy confinement the lower the ignition temperature?

And you will never get any fusion reaction below a certain temperature, because Temperature is really the Bolzman distribution of particle mv2 and particles faster than X at temperature Y just don't exist due to quantum stuff Z?

Yes, that's the Lawson Criterion. The product of density, temperature, and confinement time has to be above a threshold to reach ignition.

The second thing I don't know, thats outside my expertise.
