Coulomb Dissociation (CD) of ⁸B into ⁷Be+p is an alternative approach to determine the S-factor for the ⁷Be(p,γ)-reaction. In experiments at RIKEN, the CD of ⁸B has been studied at about 50 A MeV [1,2]. At GSI we have measured the same reaction at 254 A MeV using a secondary ⁸B beam from the FRS.The KaoS spectrometer was used to observe both breakup products in coincidence. The CD cross section has been evaluated in the c.m.-energy range from ≈ 0.2 - 3 MeV. We obtain good agreement with both the RIKEN CD results and those of a recent direct-reaction study [3] which both favour an astrophysical S(E1)-factor about 20% lower than the presently adopted value.
