Abstract

A relativistic coupled-channels theory for the calculation of dissociation cross sections of halo nuclei is developed. A comparison with non-relativistic models is done for the dissociation of 8B projectiles. It is shown that neglecting relativistic effects leads to seizable inaccuracies in the extraction of the astrophysical S-factor for the proton+beryllium radiative capture reaction.
