Abstract	Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarocarbons (PAHs) are believed to exist in intersteller space. In some situation, they form clusters. Interaction of charged particles with PAH molecules/clusters would be important process in the evoluation in molecular clouds. Recently, experimental studies on the collison of highly charged ions with PAH molecules / clusters are in progress. In this talk, I will review on these experiments and present some calculation to analyse the experiments.
