✦ Synopsis

Secondary beams of unstable nuclei with kinetic energies of several hundred MeV per nucleon are produced at, GSI in fragment~ation reactions followed by in-flight, isot,ope separat'ion. Results of studies of light) neutron-rich nuclei ranging from beryllium to oxygen including halo nuclei are presented. Interaction of the projectiles with lead targets leads to Coulomb breakup mediated t,hrough dipole excitabions into the continuum. Non-resonant excitat,ions near the neutron separat,ion threshold deliver information on ground-stat,e properties such as spect,roscopic factors.
