Abstract
We calculate the energy spectrum for dissociation on a Pb target to all orders in the Coulomb and nuclear fields, and show that the slope of obtained in previous analyses of Coulomb dissociation data is too steep, due to deficiencies in the conventional first-order analysis that was used. With a more complete theory that avoids the far-field approximation and includes , nuclear and dynamical projectile polarization, the disagreement between indirect and direct methods for determining the slope and the extrapolated values is reduced significantly.
