Anything other than D-T requires >8x higher temperatures to reach the same reactivity, resulting in orders of magnitude more radiative losses.

Why do fusion cross sections drop after a certain temperature?

The title sums everything up. The fusion cross section increases up to a certain temperature due to collisions and the increased probability of tunneling through the coulomb barrier. But why does the
