Abstract
Deuteron-deuteron cluster-impact fusion at ~100 eV was demonstrated by Beuhler et al. Their results are analyzed to reduce a discrepancy which they note to be "more than 10 orders of magnitude". By their method of calculation, it is found to be 25 orders of magnitude, of which 10 orders of magnitude can be accounted for by compression and electron screening. Analysis is presented to show that the remaining 15 orders of magnitude discrepancy cannot reasonably be resolved by electron screening and proximity (degree of compression), or experimental errors in cluster energy and/or size.
