Abstract

Energetic impact of multiple ionized oxygen on protonated water clusters in the range of eight to twenty-one water molecules is investigated on the ZERNIKE-LEIF facility. The target water clusters are stored in a Paul trap and thermalized by cold buffer gas. This well-controlled approach allows for a direct measurement of the total inelastic cross section leading to trap-loss processes of the target ions.
