Abstract :
Clusters of molecules (with a weight of some thousands atomic units) can be used as drivers for Intertial Confinement Fusion (ICF). Most of the work1–5 carried out with cluster-induced fusion is however related to impact fusion, i.e., an approach where the clusters are made of deuterium-rich molecules in order to trigger fusions with the fusionable nuclei (D, tritium) of a target
