Medical Definition of Impact fusion
1.
Fusion approach where a fuel projectile is acclerated and impacted into either a stationary target or another projectile.
This is valuable for scientific purposes but not a candidate for a fusion energy source because the likelihood of fusion occurring in a single collision is too low. Multiple accelerated pellets colliding with spherical symmetry might be a viable inertial confinement approach.
An impact fusion driver accelerates the macroparticles and is used in inertial confinement fusion.
