The fragmentation of an Na3+ cluster following a collision with a fast He atom was theoretically studied. Trajectory results indicate that very different mechanisms contribute to the fragmentation process even in the simplest pathway when the cluster always stays in the ground electronic state and fragments adiabatically. The results are explained in terms of the binary, diatom, sequential, and complex mechanisms.
