Abstract

We search for nuclear fusion in the impact of macroscopic high-velocity iron particles on deuterated titanium and heavy-water targets. The consequences of our upper limits on proton and \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray emission for an explanation of the cluster-impact fusion observed in recent experiments are discussed. Our results constrain any explanation of cluster-impact fusion in terms of solid-state or shock-wave effects.
