Abstract

In the Coulomb dissociation method the electromagnetically induced breakup of light nuclei is studied in order to extract astrophysical S-factors. Possible pitfalls like higher order effects and a mixture of different multipolarities can be avoided by a careful study of the reaction mechanism. As an example a recent breakup experiment of 7 Li is discussed and it is shown that the Coulomb dissociation method is a useful tool for nuclear astrophysics.
