Abstract
Lead clusters are exposed to strong femtosecond light pulses. The dependence of the recoil energy on the charge state of the atomic ion is now investigated using a new detection setup, i.e., a Thomson analyser. First results show that in contrast to laser-induced overdense plasmas at surfaces the recoil energy distribution appears much narrower. Comparing free lead clusters with lead clusters embedded in large helium droplets, the charging dynamics show distinct differences on the femtosecond time scale. In the embedded case the maximum ionization enhancement is reached earlier.
