Abstract
Ionization and fragmentation have been measured for C-60 molecules bom barded in the vapor phase by Xe35+ and Xe13+ ions with energies in the range 420-625 MeV. The CM energies exceeded those used in previous st udies by several orders of magnitude. We present the observed mass dis tribution of positively charged fragments together with a theoretical model indicating that the total interaction cross section contains rou ghly equal contributions from (a) excitation of the giant plasmon reso nance, and (b) large-energy-transfer processes that lead to multiple f ragmentation of the molecule.
