Abstract
The interference between Coulomb and nuclear excitation processes is discussed in the framework of the DWBA formalism. The conditions at which the nuclear effects start to manifest themselves are investigated and it is shown that the usually accepted estimation of the Coulomb barrier energy gives a rather too high result. It is also shown that the interference between the two processes might serve as a tool to measure the nuclear surface parameters.
