in a nuclear fusion there are two types of “objects” the target and the projectile, the target is the heavy nucleus will split at the end of the reaction  this could be uranium , thorium or plutonium atom etc, while the target is particle used to hit the larger atom, this could be neutron, deuteron or proton, but  neutron is the most suitable due to its heavy mass and neutral charge.
