The quasielastic breakup of light nuclei into two charged fragments in the Coulomb field of a heavy multiply charged ion are studied. For fragments diverging with extremely low energies an asymptotic estimate is obtained for the ratio of the differential cross section in which three-body Coulomb effects are taken into account to that in which these effects are disregarded. It is shown that effects due to the acceleration of breakup fragments in the field of the heavy ion are significant. 13 refs., 2 figs.
