Abstract: | We create the random complex media of high-power density in low-energy nanosecond vacuum discharges. Hard X-ray emission efficiency,
generation of energetic ions (∼1 MeV) and neutrons, trapping and releasing of fast ions and/or X-rays from interelectrode
aerosol ensembles are the subject of our study. The neutrons from DD microfusion, as well as the modelling of some interstellar
nuclear burning due to microexplosive nucleosynthesis are discussed. The value of neutron yield from DD fusion in interelectrode
space varies and amounts to ∼105–10
7/4π per shot under ≈ 1 J of total energy deposited to create all discharge processes
