A quasi-directional emission of MeV neutrals from a dense cluster nano plasma

Nanoclusters are strongly ionised at 10

to generate even MeV ions. In a dense cluster ensemble a near 100% charge reduction of the ions to form fast neutrals is demonstrated. Neutrals atom emission is quasi-directional and neutralisation is more effective along the laser polarization.
