Abstract
Breakup reactions provide spectroscopic information on exotic nuclei. Coulomb breakup indirectly measures the astrophysical S factor for radiative-capture reactions. The validity of first-order perturbation theory is limited for extended systems such as halo nuclei. More elaborate reaction models are necessary: semi-classical time-dependent Schrödinger equation, eikonal and dynamical eikonal approximations, continuum-discretized coupled-channel method. Breakup experiments do not provide much information on the structure of a two-cluster halo nucleus but accurate exclusive experiments should be more interesting for three-cluster nuclei.
