To benchmark the validity of using the (d,p{gamma}) reaction as a surrogate for (n,{gamma}), the {sup 171,173}Yb(d,p{gamma}) reactions were measured with the goal to reproduce the known neutron capture cross section ratio of these nuclei. Preliminary surrogate results reproduced the measured values within 15%.
