Abstrakt: We have developed a supersonic cluster beam source for the use of an electron-cluster crossed-beam experiment to study the electronic excitation processes in rare gas clusters. A cryopump is used for the differential pumping system instead of a diffusion pump, which is used in conventional cluster beam sources. The performance of this differential pumping system is examined. The size distribution in the cluster beam is estimated by measuring the kinetic energy and velocity distribution as a function of the stagnation pressure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
