We present a fully quantum mechanical theory to study the effects of deformation on various
reaction observables in the Coulomb breakup of neutron rich exotic medium mass nuclei on
heavy targets within the framework of finite range distorted wave Born approximation by
using a deformed Woods–Saxon potential. As an application of this theory, we calculate the
one-neutron removal cross section, relative energy spectra, parallel momentum distributions
and angular distributions in the breakup of 31 Ne on Pb and Au targets at 234 MeV/u. We …
