Mean energy losses of foil-transmitted H[sub 2][sup +] ions are measured for the incidence of 9.6-MeV/amu H[sub 2][sup +] ions on carbon foils of 1.5--8.5 [mu]g/cm[sup 2] 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 H[sub 2][sup +] ions, derived from the energy losses, is 55.8[plus minus]4.6 eV/([mu]g/cm[sup 2]). The obtained stopping power is compared with that calculated with the first Born approximation. The calculated result is slightly larger than the experimental one.
