A Is Positron-Catalyzed Fusion Possible?

Why does it look bright pink, in the visible range.
Lots of blue and red there, almost no yellow/green.

I don't want to sound evil but read the text and not only the video:

its visibility caused by the excitation of the background hydrogen gas

Ah, OK thanks.

I've toyed with this subject for several years, but, as a non-specialist with very little University Physics behind him, I'm severely limited in what I've been able to do. Antimatter-catalyzed fusion has gotten a bit of interest, and even some government research grants over the years.

However, I think I concluded a few years ago that antimatter-catalyzed fission is more practical and potentially achievable in the near term than is AC fission.
