= Colliding beam fusion
{wiki=Colliding_beam_fusion}
Colliding beam fusion is a type of nuclear fusion that involves the collision of two beams of particles, typically ions or atomic nuclei, to produce fusion reactions. Unlike traditional fusion methods, which may rely on heating a plasma to extreme temperatures and confining it using magnetic fields (as in tokamaks or stellarators), colliding beam fusion uses the kinetic energy of moving particles to overcome the Coulomb barrier that normally prevents nuclei from fusing.
