A candidate of a neutron-halo nucleus, {sup 31}Ne, contains a single neutron in the pf shell. Within the Glauber and eikonal models, we analyze reactions used to study {sup 31}Ne. We show in a {sup 30}Ne+n model that the magnitudes of the total reaction and above all of the one-neutron removal cross sections of {sup 31}Ne on {sup 12}C and {sup 208}Pb targets strongly depend on the orbital angular momentum of the neutron, thereby providing us with efficient ways to determine both the spin-parity and structure of the ground state of {sup 31}Ne. Besides these inclusive observables, we also calculate energy and parallel-momentum distributions for the breakup of {sup 31}Ne and show their strong dependence on the orbital of the valence neutron in the bound state of {sup 31}Ne.
