pB11 fusion is "aneutronic". Wouldn't that suggest that DB10 would also be? Also, since the D has twice to mass of the p in pB11, wouldn't that also suggest that it can happen at a lower energy?
I cannot find any info on this. Anybody?
D B10 fusion?
Re: D B10 fusion?
A chart of the nuclides can help, I like this one:

Re: D B10 fusion?
I also think the inherent issue is that with D flying around, you would be creating all sorts of D-D in addition to whatever D-B10 you would get.
Where you did get a D-B10, it would be spitting out Be8 + an alpha, or three high energy alphas.
See Page 257, Table III

this other document can also help understanding, as it too explores the B10+D reaction, albiet in relation to B11+p.

Ivy Matt gets credit for digging these up.
