Systematic study of the (d, p) reaction with 56 MeV polarized deuterons

Differential cross sections and vector analyzing powers were measured for the (d, p) reaction with 56 MeV polarized deuterons. The investigation covered the transitions to the single-particle states of the 1p. 2s, 1d. 2p, 1f, 3s, 2d and 1g shells. The analyzing powers showed a j -dependence which depended on the number of nodes in the radial wave function of the transferred neutron. DWBA and adiabatic model calculations were carried out. The DWBA calculations reproduced the experimental cross sections and analyzing powers for the stripping to the j > states. The adiabatic model did not necessarily improve the fits to the data for these transitions. As for the j transitions, on the other hand, the DWBA calculations could not reproduce the experimental angular distributions, while the adiabatic model calculations improved the agreement with the experimental data.
