We report the first measurements of resonantly enhanced attachment to metallic clusters in a crossed beam experiment, the negative ions being detected directly in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The implications of our results are discussed in the context of recent theory. Capture can occur either non-resonantly, or in a process enhanced by a collective oscillation of the delocalized electrons.
