Abstract Based on the concept of “damp matching” [1] and the famous d + t fusion data, a conventional quantum mechanics calculation shows that the plasma fusion, muon-catalyzed fusion, and the low-energy nuclear reaction are essentially same in the sense of resonant tunneling through the Coulomb barrier. The good agreement between theory and experimental data justifies the selectivity in resonant tunneling, which implies the possibility of having fusion energy with no strong neutron and gamma radiation.
