The (d,n) reaction of {sup 7}Be to form the ground state of {sup 8}B was studied in inverse kinematics using a 25 MeV/nucleon beam of {sup 7}Be nuclei from the A1200 fragment separator at the NSCL. The recoiling {sup 8}B nuclei were observed in a pair of position sensitive detector telescopes at lab angles between 1 degree sign and 5.5 deg. (7 deg. to 38 deg. CMS). A large array of neutron detectors was placed at angles ranging from 158 deg. to 104 deg. (35 deg. to 7 deg. CMS) that measured the energy of coincident neutrons by their time-of-flight. The cross section for the d({sup 7}Be,{sup 8}B)n reaction was determined from both the charged-particle singles and from the neutron coincidence data. In addition to measuring the transfer reaction, the quasi-elastic scattering of {sup 7}Be from deuterium was measured. The cross sections of these reactions are compared with DWBA and coupled-channels calculations.
