Abstract
Clusters have proved an interesting topic of research for several years due to their high laser-energy absorption efficiency. The high ion energies that can be produced from a cluster expansion are of great interest and recent experiments have shown that deuterium ions produced in a laser- cluster interaction have sufficient kinetic energy to drive nuclear fusion between the ions produced by adjacent clusters.1 The fusion cross-section of a D-D reaction is very strongly
