The (d,p) stripping reaction has proved a useful
tool for probing single particle aspects of
nuclear structure. With the advent of beams of
exotic nuclei there has been renewed interest
in charged particle spectroscopy and (d,p)
stripping in particular as a means of
investigating the structure of neutron-rich
nuclei via reactions in inverse kinematics. The
distorted wave Born approximation was shown to be
inappropriate for the analysis of (d,p) reactions
some thirty years ago, due to the importance of
the deuteron breakup channel. While the simple
adiabatic model has been demonstrated to work
rather well in this context, modern computing
facilities enable a more realistic treatment of
the deuteron breakup process via the continuum
discretised coupled channels procedure to be
included in (d,p) calculations. In this work we
present a comprehensive analysis method for
(d,p) reactions using CDCC to model deuteron
breakup and the Reid soft-core nucleon-nucleon
potential to calculate the deuteron internal wave
function. The model is tested against 12C(d,p)
data at incident deuteron energies of 15 and 30
MeV where all the necessary ancillary data are
available. It is then applied to the 10Be(d,p)
reaction at 12 and 25 MeV where only the transfer
cross section data are available. |
