Abstract
Using the analogy with the problem of ionization and excitation of atoms in the propagation of relativistic charged particles through a bulk of matter, the process of Coulomb dissociation of weakly bound relativistic nuclei and hypernuclei is theoretically investigated in the framework of the two-cluster deuteron-like model. Explicit expressions for the total cross section of Coulomb disintegration of weakly bound systems are derived taking into account the corrections due to the finite size of a target nucleus. Numerical estimations for the Coulomb dissociation of relativistic hypernuclei 3HΛ and 6HeΛ are performed. It is shown that, owing to a sharp dependence of the Coulomb dissociation cross section on the binding energy, experimental measurements of the cross section allow one to determine the values of binding energy for these systems.
