Nitrogen atoms, as highly charged as N 5+, are found to be formed upon the irradiation of (NH3) . clusters with an intense femtosecond laser beam. Kinetic energy release values of the nitrogen atoms, from the Coulomb explosion of ammonia clusters, are found to be on the order of several hundred elec
