The Coulomb field of a heavy nucleus provides an intense source of quasi-real photons acting on passing nuclear particles. This fact has many applications in studies of nuclear structure problems. Coulomb dissociation of fast projectiles has been proposed as a novel method to investigate radiative capture processes (time-reversed to photodisintegration). This is a new access to a specific class of radiative capture reactions at low energies, relevant for nuclear astrophysics, and it does overcome various limitations of direct measurements. This lecture puts emphasis on a general discussion of the favourable experimental conditions, of related theoretical problems of the analysis and possible pitfalls of the approach. Various cases of actual astrophysical interest and current applications are discussed.
