Cooling of gold cluster anions, Au${}_N^{-}$, $N=2-13,15$, in a cryogenic ion-beam storage ring

Klavs Hansen, Tian Weihao, Emma K. Anderson +9

We have measured the spontaneous and photo-induced decays of anionic gold clusters, Au${}_N^{-}$, with sizes ranging from $N=2$ to 13, and 15. After production in a sputter ion sourc…
