Which consequence results when a nuclear fusion reactor decreases core particle momentum?

💡 Explanation

Decreased particle momentum reduces the energy available to overcome the Coulomb barrier via quantum tunneling. Fusion probability is highly dependent on overcoming this barrier via **quantum tunneling** with high kinetic energy; therefore the reaction rate strongly decreases, rather than enhancing reactivity given high temperatures needed in fusion reactors.
