Mean energy losses of foil-transmitted Hz+ ions are measured for the incidence of 9.6-MeV/amu H&+ ions on carbon foils of 1.5-8.5 pg/cm thickness. The measured ions are those that have traversed the carbon foil without loss of their original electrons. The stopping power of carbon for 9.6-MeV/amu H2+ ions, derived from the energy losses, is 55.8+4.6 eV/(pg/cm ). The obtained stopping power is compared with that calculated with the first Born approximation. The calculated result is slightly larger than the experimental one.PACS number(s): 34.50.
