Theoretical evaluation of solar proton-proton fusion reaction rate and its uncertainties

The weak proton-proton fusion into a deuteron (2H) is the driving reaction in the energy production in the Sun, as well as similar main sequence stars. Its reaction rate in the solar interior is determined only theoretically. Here, we provide a new determination of the rate of this reaction in solar...
