Abstract
Relative cross-sections for argon cluster ionization by electron impac t in the energy range from the threshold up to 125 eV are measured. Ar clusters were generated in a supersonic molecular beam. The particles were detected using an electron bombardment cross-beam ionizer. The e xact values of the ionization thresholds are obtained for Ar-N (N = 1, ..., 12). In several ionization cross-section curves an additional st ructure was revealed.
