Scientific paper

We present the mass function (MF) of the Arches cluster obtained from
ground-based adaptive optics data in comparison with results derived from
HST/NICMOS data. A MF slope of Gamma = -0.8 +- 0.2 is obtained. Both datasets
reveal a strong radial variation in the MF, with a flat slope in the cluster
center, which increases with increasing radius.
