Abstract: | We have measured attenuation cross sections and fragmentation cross sections for protonated water clusters H(H2O)n
+ (n = 1 to 100) colliding with noble gas atoms (He and Xe) at a laboratory energy of 50 keV. In collisions with He, a transparency
effect in the attenuation cross section was observed. For the case of fragmentation in collisions with Xe, a strong enhancement
of small clusters was observed which we attribute to multifragmentation.
