Those interested in the theory and math around the fusor, especially the new folks, should really visit Jim Lux's nuclear page.
You'll also find a lot of stuff he has condensed and collated from the old BBS on neutron counting, etc.
The pointer to his nuclear material is found at the bottom of the hardware section of the "perfessers weblog" link in the right box on the home page of this site. It is also given on the old BBS as long as it is up under the recent URL- (listings)
Jim's work is lucid, about a simplified as it can get for a beginner, and well organized. He has done a lot for us all in this group. Make use of his free tools and insights.
