{alpha}-particle knock-on signature in the neutron emission of DT plasmas

The fast alpha-particle kinetic effects in fusion plasmas of deuterium and tritium are studied in the perspective that they can give rise to minority populations of fast fuel ions. The resulting modification of the neutron emission spectrum is computed fo
