Abstract
The mass analysis of heavy cluster ions in the range m/q= 10(5)-10(7) amu is investigated. A dynamic mass spectrometer is described for meas urements of the mass distributions of charged particles generated in p ulsed sources of polyatomic clusters in the given range. The main para meters and characteristics of the instrument are given. The distributi on of duster ions with respect to the ratio mig is determined for a sp ecific source of gold cluster ions formed in the inelastic sputtering of gold island films with fission fragments of Cf-252 nuclei.
