The exotic nucleus He-8 is investigated by means of the measurement of the angular distributions of the elastic channel and the He-6 and He-4 fragment yields produced in the collision with a Pb-208 target at two energies around the Coulomb barrier, 16 and 22 MeV. The experiment was performed at the GANIL-SPIRAL facility, with the aim of extracting information about the structure of He-8 and the relevant reaction mechanisms. In this contribution, details of the experimental setup and preliminary data on elastic cross sections are reported.
