β¦ Synopsis
The present study was undertaken to quantitatively measure the concentration of ions produced by a microwave discharge source commonly used in the production of atomic species. Using a double floating probe to monitor the ion content, the results indicate that the flow of ions was less than 1.8 x times the total flow of particles from the discharge cavity. Due to the low ion mole fraction, it is concluded that ion-molecule reactions are not competitive with previousry reported atom-molecule reactions.

## Abstract Cluster ions from the continuousβflow fast atom bombardment of several pure, liquid aromatics were examined. Most of the aromatics cluster as (M)~__n__~^+^; however, aromatic bases such as pyridine and aniline also form (M)~__n__~H^+^ ions. The abundance of both (M)~__n__~^+^ and (M)~__
