TL;DR: In this article, the photodisintegration by means of the virtual photons provided by a nuclear Coulomb field is considered, which is related to the inverse process of the radiative capture process by the detailed balance theorem.

TL;DR: In this paper, multiple electromagnetic excitation of giant dipole multiphonon states is studied in a harmonic vibrational model and the cross sections are found to be quite large for very heavy nuclei.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of relativistic heavy ion collisions with impact parameters larger than the sum of the nuclear radii are studied using the virtual photon method, and the excitation of high-lying giant E1 and E2 multipole resonances is calculated.

TL;DR: Two different quantal approaches to describe relativistic Coulomb excitation are compared and proven to be equivalent in their basic formulations.
Abstract: Two different quantal approaches to describe relativistic Coulomb excitation are compared and proven to be equivalent in their basic formulations. We reanalyze the ..lambda sigma../sup 0/ conversion experiment by means of the plane wave Born approximation and we also discuss the possible applications of this approach to ultrarelativistic Coulomb collision experiments.
