Abstract
We present molecular correlation diagrams for the study of H+ + Na-n collis ions (n = 8, 20, 40, 92) at low impact velocities. We infer from these diag rams that, for a given velocity, electron capture cross sections increase m onotonically with cluster size, whereas the energy deposited in the cluster remains practically constant.
