A process, involving the 7Be core excitation in the Coulomb breakup of 8B into p + 7Be has been investigated. From the experimental results recently obtained in RIKEN we have derived the mixing amplitude of the | 7Be(1/2-) X (1p_{3/2}); 2+>…

The calculated rate of events in some of the existing solar neutrino detectors is directly proportional to the rate of the $^7$Be($p,\gamma)^8$B reaction measured in the laboratory at low energies. However, the low-energy cross sections of…
We investigate the effects arising out of the $E1 - E2$ interference in the Coulomb dissociation of $^8$B at beam energies below and around 50 MeV/nucleon. The theory has been formulated within a first order semiclassical scheme of Coulomb…
We study the breakup reactions of 8B projectiles in high energy (50 and 250 MeV/u) collisions with heavy nuclear targets (208Pb). The intrinsic nuclear wave functions are calculated using a simple model, as well as a simple optical…
The relationship between the Coulomb displacement energy for the A=8, J=2+, T=1 state and the low-energy astrophysical S factor for the Be7(p,gamma)B8 reaction is discussed. The displacement energy is interpreted in a particle-hole model.…
A new version of the method of Continuum-Discretized Coupled-Channels method (CDCC) is proposed, that is, the Eikonal-CDCC method (E-CDCC). The E-CDCC equation, for Coulomb dissociation in particular, can easily and safely be solved, since…
The Coulomb dissociation of 8B, measured with high precision by the GSI group, is in excellent agreement with the astrophysical cross section factor (S17) measured by the Weizmann group with a 7Be target. The GSI and Weizmann data are in…
Coulomb Dissociation provides an alternative method for determining the radiative capture cross sections at astrophysically relevant low relative energies. For the breakup of $^8$B on $^{58}$Ni, we calculate the total Coulomb Dissociation…
