Abstract
The idea here is to use large relative velocities of electrons and nuclei in accelerator beams to increase the probability of fusion. The function of the electrons is to both screen the positive charge and to produce an increased parallel pinching current. The increase in reaction probability is estimated using the Darwin magnetic interaction energy approach.
