Abstract: This Letter reports on the measurement of the energy loss and the projectile charge states of argon ions at an energy of 4 MeV=u penetrating a fully ionized carbon plasma. The plasma of ne 1020 cm3 and Te 180 eV is created by two laser beams at Las ¼ 532 nm incident from opposite sides on a thin carbon foil. The resulting plasma is spatially homogenous and allows us to record precise experimental data. The data show an increase of a factor of 2 in the stopping power which is in very good agreement with a specifically developed Monte Carlo code, that allows the calculation of the heavy ion beam’s charge state distribution and its energy loss in the plasma.
