Angular distributions of the vector analyzing power and differential cross section have been measured for the /sup 92/Zr(d,p)/sup 93/Zr, /sup 94/Zr(d,p)/sup 95/Zr, and /sup 96/Zr(d,p)/sup 97/Zr reactions using 12 MeV polarized deuterons. The angular range was 15/sup 0/ to 140/sup 0/ for /sup 92/Zr(d,p)/sup 93/Zr, 15/sup 0/ to 120/sup 0/ for /sup 94/Zr(d,p)/sup 95/Zr, and 15/sup 0/ to 160/sup 0/ for /sup 96/Zr(d,p)/sup 97/Zr. Assignments for the transferred orbital angular momentum were based on comparison of the angular dependence of distorted-wave Born approximation calculations to the differential cross section data. Assignments for total angular momentum of j = l+-1/2 were based on empirical vector analyzing power curves from previous polarized (d,p) reaction studies in the mass-90 region at E/sub d/ = 12 MeV. Comparison between DWBA calculations and measured values for the differential cross section allows one to extract spectroscopic factors for the transitions studied. The orbital angular momentum assignments determined in this work are in good overall agreement with previous differential cross section measurements for these reactions. The assignments of total angular momentum j are in some cases different than tentative assignments based on simple shell model considerations from previous unpolarized (d,p) works.
