63. A 40 r2+ becomes visible in Fig. at high hydrogen pressure, indicating an argon impurity in the hydrogen gas. As nearly all other observed ions are singly charged, we label the abscissa of our mass spectra by the mass m (in units of Da) rather than the mass-to-charge ratio m/q (units of Th) (Ref.).

68. Kirchner and Bowers (Ref.) reported significant collision-induced contributions to MIKE spectra of H6+ at a background pressure of 10-7 Pa, two orders of magnitude below the pressure in our instrument. However, their ions were prepared differently, by ion-molecule reactions in a drift source. The preparation will affect the excitation energy of the ions and thus the probability of unimolecular dissociation.

84. We assume that the hyperthermal hydrogen atom would, once separated from the fragment ion, escape from the droplet. This hypothesis may be tested by embedding hydrogen clusters into larger helium droplets.
