It actually is easy and fun to look up the answers to these questions on the web—reaction rates and all are easy to find. I hope people on this forum will do that.
Researchers have been fusing pB11 for decades. The way we know what reaction rates are is by experiment, based on reactions measured when particles are shot from accelerators at targets. These reaction rates are highly dependent on ion energy and how they vary depends on the fuel involved.
At 10 keV, pB11’s reaction rate if 1600 time LESS than for DD and 300,000 times LESS than for DT
At 100 keV, pB11’s reaction rate if 1.6 times MORE than for DD and 20 times LESS than for DT
At 160 keV, pB11’s reaction rate if 3.2 times MORE than for DD and 5 times LESS than for DT
At 600 keV, pB11’s reaction rate if 2.7 times MORE than for DD and only 10% LESS than for DT
