In a measurement of the angular distribution of proton groups from the $sup 48$Ca(d,p)$sup 49$Ca reaction at E/subd/=20 MeV, particular emphasis is placed on the observation of seven weak transitions to states below 5 MeV excitation. These distributions are analyzed using distorted-wave Born- approximation (DWBA) parameters fixed by fitting, at E/subd/=13.0, 16.0, and 19.3 MeV, the angular distributions of the elastically scattered deuterons and the protons populating the single-particle 2p$sub 3$$/$$sub 2$, 2p$sub 1$$/$$sub 2$, and 1f$sub 5$$/$$sub 2$ states. The DWBA model also fits the (d,p) data of other investigators at E/subd/=7.0 and 10.0 MeV. The same model is then applied to the seven weak transitions, for which earlier data are available at 7.5 and 10.0 MeV in addition to the new E/subd/=20 MeV data. New partial angular distributions at 9.0 MeV are helpful in resolving some discrepancies. For three of the weak transitions, older l assignments are confirmed, for two of them new l assignments are made, and for two transitions the observed behavior is incompatible with any reasonable DWBA model. All seven transitions can be explained as populating 2p- 1h states formed by coupling a neutron to excited states of the $sup 48$Ca core.
