Abstract
Secondary [(CsI)nCs]+ cluster ions, produced by 8 keV Cs+ primary ions, were observed to decay within ~70 us after production for n>7. Parent ions with n=14 to 18 decayed preferentially to ions with n=13, corresponding to a 3X3X3 structure. Secondary ions from large organic molecules, bradykinin in particular, were observed to decay on a similar time scale.

In the sector-field measurements [7–10], an ion with n=13 spends -50 dus within the extraction lens before entering the spectrometer, so it appears likely that many of the large clusters observed were disintegration products originating from regions close to the target.
