The loss of kinetic energy of slow (v0ex0ex=0ex0ex0.3vBohr) ions transmitted through thin carbon foils has been measured as a function of projectile charge state in the range from q0ex0ex=0ex0ex3+ for oxygen to q0ex0ex=0ex0ex69+ for gold ions. For the first time, charge state dependent energy loss enhancements have been observed for Xeq+ and Auq+ at q≥40+, indicating strong preequilibrium contributions to the energy loss of slow, highly charged ions in solids.
