Abstract. Progress in breakup reaction theories, like the distorted

wave Born approximation, the continuum discretized coupled channels

method and the dynamical eikonal approximation, is brought into

focus. The need to calculate exclusive reaction observables and the

utility of benchmark tests as arbitrators of theoretical models are

discussed.

 

Keywords. Breakup theories; post and prior forms; distorted wave Born

approximation; continuum discretized coupled channels; dynamical

eikonal.
