The analysis of high-energy Coulomb dissociation experiments with 8 B and 6 Li beams in order to extract low-energy S factors of the 7 Be(p,γ) 8 B and 4 He(d,γ) 6 Li radiative capture reactions relies on a precise knowledge of the reaction mechanism. A comparison of various experimental cross sections with predictions from theory allows us to identify the relevant ingredients that are necessary for a successful theoretical description. The cases of 8 B and 6 Li Coulomb breakup show substantial differences related to the structure of the nuclei.
