Interactions of energetic cluster ion beams with matter have been an active research area in both the experimental and theoretical studies for a long time due to their ability to deposit energy in a small region of the target.Driven by the recent advancements in the experimental accelerator techniques for cluster ion beams and the laser technology,there exists a promising inertial confinement fusion scheme in which a plasma target is radiated simultaneously by both an intense laser beam and an intense ion beam.Several experiments have devoted to measure the energy losses and charge states of heavy ion beams in the laserablated plasma targets.
