The effect of breakup on the elastic deuteron-nucleus scattering elements S/sub L,L'/sup J/ is calculated numerically for deuterons incident on /sup 64/Ni for the energies of 13, 21.6, and 45 MeV. The S's are decomposed into central, spin orbit and tensor components. All three are affected strongly by breakup, and so are the various polarization angular distributions. The calculation proceeds in second order distorted wave Born approximation and includes breakup energies up to 40 MeV divided into two bins. Three values of the neutron--proton relative angular momenta j = 1, 2, and 3 are included. The n--p potential is that of Reid, and the nucleon-nucleus optical potential is that of Becchetti and Greenlees. Comparison with experiment at 45 MeV for d sigma/d..cap omega.. and T/sub 11/ is presented. 23 references.
