Abstract
Summary form only given. A characteristic of the disintegration mode of ion clusters and superclusters is the pairing of the D/sub 2//sup +/ ions, which form the bulk of the ion population emission at 67/spl deg/ from the axis of a plasma focus discharge. A Thomson (parabola) spectrometer is used for the determination of ion and ion cluster species and of their energy spectrum. The parabolic pattern of each ion species is recorded on a CR-39 target, with ion track etching in NaOH solution.
