Abstract
Coulomb dissociation of in the field of at different energies via resonance and continuum levels is discussed in detail. Relations are given which can be used to directly relate the Coulomb breakup cross section to the astrophysical S factor. Predictions for energy dependence and angular distributions are given. The direct Coulomb breakup of is found to be of the same order of magnitude as the sequential breakup at higher projectile energies. The effect to elastic scattering can be accounted for by introducing a dynamic polarization potential.
