Electron attachment to CO/sub 2/ clusters formed by nozzle expansion was investigated in a crossed molecular-beam--electron-impact--mass spectrometer system. In addition to cluster ions previously observed at 3--4 eV electron energy we observe presently cluster ions produced at around zero electron energy. Some of these ions are likely produced by a less dissociative production mechanism allowing the probing of cluster beams with better reliability than previously.
