Abstract
The quasielastic breakup of light nuclei into two charged fragments in the Coulomb field of a heavy multiply charged ion are studied. For fr agments diverging with extremely low energies, an asymptotic estimate is obtained for the ratio of the differential cross section in which t hree-body Coulomb effects are taken into account to that in which thes e effects are disregarded. It is shown that effects due to the acceler ation of breakup fragments in the field of the heavy ion are significa nt.
