A comparative study is being reported on the identification of heavy carbon clusters using two different techniques namely the Direct Recoil Spectroscopy (DRS) and velocity spectrometry using a Wien ExB velocity filter. In both the techniques carbon clusters are formed in situ either under energetic heavy ion bombardment of graphite surfaces for which DRS is employed or these are emitted from the regenerative sooting discharges and analyzed using ExB velocity analysis.
