The attachment reaction of N2 to relatively small Ar clusters was investigated by use of the pick-up 
technique and a mass spectrometer.  The reaction cross section and number of Ar atoms evaporated by 
the attachment of N2 were obtained and found to be consistent with the calculated values by computer 
simulation.
