Recently, a new study out of the ALICE collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has explained how deuterons survive high-energy particle collisions.
About Deuteron:
A deuteron is a stable isotope of hydrogen with a nucleus containing one proton and one neutron.
It is denoted by the symbol “²H” or “D”.
It is found in small amounts in natural water and in the atmosphere of Jupiter and Saturn.
Applications of Deuteron:
It is used in the production of heavy water, which is used as a moderator in nuclear reactors.
It is used in the production of deuterium, which is used as a fuel in fusion reactors.
It is used in the production of tritium, which is used in nuclear weapons.
