Looks like Miley has a finger in many pies... What's interesting is that the folks at U. Wisconsin, TIT (unfortunate acronym),and at U. Kyoto think that in the glow regime, the dominant mechanism of neutron production is ion collision with background neutrals, not ion-ion collision.

they.. "think that in the glow regime, the dominant mechanism of neutron production is ion collision with background neutrals, not ion-ion collision........"

They might be correct too!! I would imagine that a lot more collisions take place between neutrals and hot ions that ion-ion collisions. One might be statistically justified in stating that the bulk of the fusion is coming from such activities, though ion-ion is part of the mix.
