I was wondering, if quantum effects could help them get more dense plasma if they use Deuteron (D2) with spin of 1 instead of proton with spin of 1/2 (and consequently B10 instead of B11)?
This leads back to a previous conversation. I haven’t found much information about spin and fusion rates that isn’t behind a pay wall so lets dream a little.
B10 has a spin of 3 and B11 has a spin of 3/2 according to this reference. If spin has any influence then D2 + B10 should have the best reaction rate. Refer to this article.
The Magnetic Field Effect and plasmoid effects probably operate on a quantum level.
One good way to see the influence of spin is to actually try different fuel combinations.
