The effects of inelastic excitations on the /sup 22/Ne(p,t)/sup 20/Ne reaction are investigated. Differential cross sections at a proton energy of 39.9 MeV were measured for /sup 22/Ne(p,t)/sup 20/Ne transitions to the 0+, 2+, and 4+ members of the ground-state rotational band, to the 2- and 3- members of the excited K/sup / pi / = 2 band; and to the 0+ and 2+ members of the first excited K/sup pi / = 0/sup +/ band. The cross sections to membees of the ground- state band are compared with distorted-wave Born-approximation (DWBA) and coupled- channel-Born-approximation (CCBA) calculations using both pure Nilsson and pairing-mixed Nilsson rotational wave functions. Only the CCBA calculation with pairing provides a reasonable description of the experimentaal data. The effects of multistep processes are found to be as large for neon as for rare=earth nuclei. The shape and relative strengh of the measured cross section to the 2- state, a transition which is forbidden by a direct single-step process, are reproduced well by the CCBA calculation, which allows the excitation of the 2- state by inelastic processes in the entrance and exit channels.
