Tables and graphs of fusion reactivities((sigma v)) are readily available for fusion in thermalized (Maxwellian) plasmas using common fuels. However, plans to construct the Two-Component Torus (TCT) have created a need for reactivities to characterize fusion via high-energy beams interacting with low-temperature target plasmas. Such reactivities are derived in the present paper for a variety of fuels including D ..-->.. T, D ..-->.. /sup 3/He, D ..-->.. D, T ..-->.. T, T ..-->.. /sup 3/He, and p ..-->.. /sup 11/B. Some examples of the use of these reactivities in two-component calculations are also described.
