It is necessary to clarify the relationship between the internuclear distance of the cluster constituent ions and these charge states for the elucidation of mechanism of the vicinage effects which are expressed due to the interaction with matter. Therefore the coincidence measurement between divergence angles and final charge states of the constituent ions resulting from dissociation of 6-MeV C ions in a thin carbon foil were performed. The strong dependence of the final charge state of constituent ions on the initial internuclear distance of projectile ion was quantitatively indicated by the fitting analysis of the angular distributions for various final charge-state combinations using the Monte Carlo particle trajectory simulation.
