Clusters in intense laser fields have attracted considerable interest in the last decades [1]. The most common way to study the interaction is by spectroscopy of the resulting charged particles. However, there is evidence that the measured mass spectra do not reflect the charge states that are initially formed, because charge recombination and extraction field effects are not accessible with these methods [2]. In this contribution, we present an experiment to analyze the initially produced charge states by their fluorescence. A spectrometer which is sensitive from 10 to 110 nm in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range (XUV) was designed to overcome the experimental challenges such as low fluorescence yield and low target density.
