title: Low energy 13C+ and 13C2+ ion irradiation of water ice.
abstract: In this paper we report the results of the first experimental study of the irradiation of low temperature water ice (30 and 90 K) using low energy (4 keV) 13C+ and 13C2+ ions. 13CO(2) and H2O(2) were readily formed within the H2O ice with the product yield and growth rate observed to be highly dependent on both the sample temperature and ion charge state.
