For a weak to moderately coupled plasma, the charged particle stopping power dE/dx was recently calculated from first principles in Ref. 1 using the method of dimensional continuation.2 While the calculational techniques were imported from quantum field theory, the calculation itself lies squarely within the standard framework of convergent kinetic equations. By using these calculations, ignition condition regime in (D/Tx/3Hey) fusion fuel pellet is investigated, including energy deposition fraction of charged particles and neutrons in fuel pellet, bremsstrahlung and inverse bremsstrahlung radiation, inverse Compton scattering and thermal conduction losses
