energy loss mechanism limiting aneutronic fusion
At the extremely high temperatures required for aneutronic fusion, electrons emit significant X-ray radiation, which can cool the plasma faster than fusion energy is produced.

Energy loss mechanism affecting the Lawson criterion
Bremsstrahlung radiation is a primary energy loss mechanism in fusion plasmas that must be accounted for when calculating the minimum requirements for the Lawson criterion.
