Measurements have been performed on a time-of-flight setup at the Jyv¨askyl¨a K130 cyclotron,
aiming at energy-loss straggling of heavy ions in gases. Theoretical predictions based on recently developed
theory as well as an empirical interpolation formula predict that straggling can be more than ten times
higher than Bohr straggling in the MeV/u regime. Our measurements with up to 9.3 MeV/u Kr ions on
He, N2, Ne and Kr targets confirm this feature. Our calculations show the relative contributions of linear
straggling, bunching including packing, and charge exchange. Our results for stopping cross sections are
compatible with values from the literature.
