We use the Coulomb-Corrected Eikonal (CCE) approximation to model the reaction and describe the one-neutron halo nucleus $$^{19}$$ 19 C within Halo Effective Field Theory (Halo EFT). At leading order we obtain a fair reproduction of the measured cross section as a function of energy and angle. The description is insensitive to the choice of optical potential, as long as it accurately represents the size of $${}^{18}$$ 18 C. It is also insensitive to the interior of the $${}^{19}$$ 19 C wave function. Comparison between theory and experiment thus enables us to infer asymptotic properties of the ground state of $$^{19}$$ 19 C: these data put constraints on the one-neutron separation energy of this nucleus and, for a given binding energy, can be used to extract an asymptotic normalisation coefficient (ANC). These results are confirmed by CCE calculations employing next-to-leading order Halo EFT descriptions of $${}^{19}$$ 19 C: at this order the results for the Coulomb breakup cross section are completely insensitive to the choice of the regulator. Accordingly, this reaction can be used to constrain the one-neutron separation energy and ANC of $${}^{19}$$ 19 C.}, number={11}, journal={EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL A}, author={Capel, Pierre and Phillips, Daniel R. and Andis, Andrew and Bagnarol, Mirko and Behzadmoghaddam, Behnaz and Bonaiti, Francesca and Bubna, Rishabh and Capitani, Ylenia and Duerinck, Pierre-Yves and Durant, Victoria and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Nov} }
