Abstract
The dependence of the electron capture cross section on cluster size in proton-cluster collisions is investigated within two different theoretical models. At low collision velocities a strong increase in the cross section with cluster size is found, whereas the size-dependency of the cross section becomes less pronounced at higher velocities.
