Collisional versus laser driven ionization in metal clusters

We compare the capabilities of rapid highly charged projectiles and intense femtosecond lasers to ionize simple metal clusters while leaving as little intrinsic excitation as possible in the residue. We show that both excitation mechanisms are able to produce highly charged clusters. The deposited e...
