Thank you for your answers.
Since there is free H in the chamber, what is the relative probability of a p-p fusion compared to p-B11? I haven’t found any cross section data for these yet. Is there any neutron yield?

Also, as I understand the reaction, it is

p + B11 -> C -> 3He + 8.3MeV

Not sure if the gammma number is right but is it actually emitted in the fusion to C? Is any energy released in the disintegration to He?

So I have done a bit of reading – certainly not exhaustive – and this is the first I have heard of using Borane (BH3?). Wouldn’t triborane (B3H3) fit the fusion equation better? Is BH3 what has been used to date for pB11 fusion?
