Abstract
Neutral sodium clusters containing up to several hundred atoms are multi-ionized in low-energy collisions with Xe28+ projectiles (560 keV). The time-of-flight mass spectra ofsingly and multiply charged sodium clusters, produced in singlecollisions, are measured with a high-resolution reflectron-typemass spectrometer. They are compared with theoretical spectrabased on Monte Carlo simulations. The comparison allows one toevaluate the energy transferred to the cluster during theionizing collision and suggests for high cluster charges amulti-fragmentation process, where nearly all charges areemitted creating a low-charged residual ion.
