Energy loss of high velocity 6Li2+ ions in carbon foils in charge state non-equilibrium region

Mean energy losses of high velocity H-like Li ions in thin carbon foils were measured in the charge state non-equilibrium region. Owing to the screening effect of the bound electron, the fixed-charge stopping power for 6Li2+ was smaller than that for 6Li3+. The projectile atomic number dependence of the fixed-charge stopping powers for H-like ions is discussed including our previous data of He, C and O ions with the same velocity. The present result is also compared with the theoretical prediction. (orig.)
