Abstract
Measurements of reactions with relativistic radioactive beams provide powerful tools to extract properties of short-lived nuclei and nuclear matter. A brief overview is given by selecting a few examples with emphasis on knockout reactions and heavy-ion induced electromagnetic excitation. The latter is being utilized to extract the collective dipole response of exotic nuclei, e.g., to study the Pygmy dipole resonance which is related to the neutron skin in heavy neutron-rich nuclei. Knockout reactions are being used to study the shell structure of exotic nuclei. They give also access to investigate the role of nucleon-nucleon correlations in nuclei and nuclear matter as a function of neutron-proton asymmetry. A new technique based on a fully exclusive measurement of quasi-free knockout reactions in inverse kinematics is discussed.
