The sputtering from water ice at 30–140K by H+ ions of 0.5–6 KeV was studied experimentally. The sputtering of water molecules was found to be temperature independent over the whole temperature range. Neon ions deposit their energy in the ice by nuclear collisions, while for protons the energy deposition mechanism shifts gradually from predominantly nuclear collisions to predominantly electronic processes from 0.5 to 6 KeV. The existing theory of nuclear sputtering predicts very well the yield of ejected water molecules and the experimental results in the region of electronic processes agree well with the experimental results of Lanzerotti, Brown and Johnson. However, the major mass loss of water bombarded by ions is via the ejection of O2 and H2 molecules and of H atoms, which exceed the ejection of water molecules. O2 and H2 production is markedly enhanced at temperatures exceeding ~100K whereas H2O and H production are temperature independent, suggesting that O2 and H2 are produced in the bulk of the ice whereas H2O and H atoms are ejected from the surface or near surface layers. About 2% of the mass loss is due to the ejection of positive ions and clusters.
