Abstract
We study the acceleration of deuterons bouncing forth and back between Ti atoms of the solid target and the heavy-water cluster projectiles impinging on a deuterated TiD surface. The multiple scattering sequence restricted to near head-on collisions closely resembles the Fermi acceleration map. Summation over all iterates of the map provides an estimate (possibly an upper limit) for the collisionally generated preequilibrium high-energy tail of the D distribution. Implications for the recent experimental study on cluster-impact fusion by Beuhler et al. are discussed.
