Description
We report on measurement of secondary-electron emission (SEE) induced by hydrogen clusters (Hn+, n≤19, odd) from thin carbon foils for beam velocities above and around the Bohr velocity. The n dependence of the SEE yield shows a strong inhibition effect with respect to the atomic case. At a given velocity, the inhibition effect is observed first to increase with n and then to reach a saturation value (n≥7). These results are connected to the understanding of the inhibition effects observed with molecular beams
