Ionization and fragmentation have been measured for C{sub 60} molecules bombarded in the vapor phase by Xe{sup 35+} and Xe{sup l8+} ions with energies in the range 420--625 MeV. The CM energies exceeded those used in previous studies by several orders of magnitude. We present the observed mass distribution of positively-charged fragments together with a theoretical model indicating that the total interaction cross section contains roughly equal contributions from (a) excitation of the giant plasmon resonance, and (b) large-energy-transfer processes that lead to multiple fragmentation of the molecule.
