Thanks, Dr. Lerner, but I’m still a bit confused — does this mean that the pB11 reaction gets relatively more efficient at higher energies, compared to DD? And more efficient enough to overcome the disadvantage of having to use more input energy for the pB11 reaction? I had thought that the main attraction of the pB11 reaction was that it was aneutronic, and not that it had a higher total energy of fusion products at any level of input energy (relative to DD or DT). In other words, I thought that under all conditions one would get more energy out of DD and DT than pB11.
