Coulomb dissociation is an especially simple and important reaction mechanism. Since the perturbation due to the electric field of the (target) nucleus is exactly known, firm conclusions can be drawn from such measurements. Electromagnetic matrixelements and astrophysical S-factors for radiative capture processes can be extracted from experiments. The dissociation of neutron halo nuclei is studied in a zero range model using analytical methods. Of special interest for nuclear structure physics is the appearence of low lying electric dipole strength in neutron rich nuclei. We use effective range methods to study it.
