Energy loss and multiple scattering of light ions in dense and strongly magnetized plasma

The alpha particles produced in inertial fusion reactions are less energetic than (or of the order of) a MeV/amu. The surrounding electronic plasma has a thermal velocity from 0.1 to 10 keV, while Deuterium–Tritium thermal velocity remains usually lower. Then the velocity scale of the different actors is the following one: Vthi⪡Vp
