Abstract
Beams of C2+ -C8+ clusters have been accelerated to 3 MeV in our 1.7 M V tandem accelerator without any modification of the machine. The beam intensity of the smaller C-cluster is large enough for some physics e xperiments. The change of charge from C-cluster negative ions to posit ive ions was achieved by collisions with N2 molecules in a gas cell at the high voltage terminal. The gas density in the stripper cell is an important parameter for obtaining maximum C(m)+ cluster beam.
