  31. Measurement setup In addition to 2H(p,γ)3He we looked for electrons from the 2H(p,e-)3He reaction Proton beam energy: 260 keV, intensity: 7 μA, 8 days Target: graphite implanted with deuterium at 3 keV once a day for ½ hour at 0.8 mA resulted in 8 at.% of deuterium per carbon atom down to a depth of about 270 nm CsI-Si timestamped Expectations: 4.3

  32. Conclusions • During the electron screening process the electrons come close to the nucleus. • A substantial number of fusion reactions in the Sun proceeds with electron emission. • Electron screening could help in lithium abundance problem. • Different screening potentials are due to different proportions of target nuclei on active and inactive sites. • For stellar plasma we really need to understand what happens in the laboratory experiments.
