The mechanism of the Coulomb breakup reaction of the projectile nuclei with neutron halo structure is investigated by the time-dependent Schroedinger equation in three-dimensional space. The time evolution of the internal wave function between the core nucleus and the halo neutron is calculated in the target Coulomb field treated as the time-dependent external field. Calculations are done for the [sup 11]Be+[sup 208]Pb system for which an experiment has been done recently. The calculated results support the picture of free-particle breakup mechanism: Only the core nucleus is affected by the target Coulomb field, while the halo neutron moves independently. As a result, we obtain large transverse and small longitudinal difference in the relative velocity between the core and the neutron after the breakup. The origin of the longitudinal velocity difference observed experimentally is left unresolved in our approach.
