Abstract
A relativistic coupled-channels theory for the calculation of dissociation cross sections of halo nuclei is developed. A comparison with nonrelativistic models is done for the dissociation of projectiles. It is shown that neglecting relativistic effects leads to sizable inaccuracies in the extraction of the astrophysical factor for the radiative capture reaction.
