Calculations of weak-interaction transition rates and of nuclear formation enthalpies show that in isolated neutron stars, the solid phase, above the neutron-drip threshold, is amorphous and heterogeneous in nuclear charge. The neutrino…
DD and DT reaction rates may be compared to determine plasma temperatures in the 10--200 eV range. Distinguishing neutrons from these two reactions is difficult when yields are low or unpredictable. Time of flight methods fail if the source…
