Ionization and fragmentation were measured for C{sub 60} molecules bombarded in the vapor phase by Xe{sup 35+} and Xe{sup 18+} ions with energies in the range 420-625 MeV. The CM energies exceeded those used in previous studies by several orders of magnitude. The mass distribution for the resulting positively charged fragments was determined and we studied the dependence of the fragment yields on the energy and charge of the projectiles. We developed a theoretical model that indicates the total interaction cross section contains roughly equal contributions from (1) excitation of the giant plasmon resonance, and (2) large-energy-transfer processes leading to multiple fragmentation of the molecule.
