33. We quote the amount of injected He instead of the pressure because the latter is not constant being the beam a pulsed one. Pressure evolution has exponentially shaped profile with a 2 ms time constant. The average pressure in the first part of the pulse where the intensity of the cluster beam is higher is the actual parameter controlling the focusing properties.
