Abstract

Rare gas or lead clusters of several hundreds to many thousands of atoms per cluster were irradiated by intense laser pulses producing peak intensities up to 1017W/cm2. Fast, highly charged fragment ions were observed by means of standard TOF mass spectrometry as well as a magnetic deflection TOF device (MDTOF). Charge states of up to Xe30+ or Pb18+ were detected with maximum kinetic energies reaching far beyond 100 keV for Xe. A strong dependence of the charging and heating process on the laser pulse duration was found. While the resulting ionic fragment spectra are qualitatively similar for rare gas and lead clusters, the kinetic energies for the metal clusters seem to be significantly lower.
