The inclusive and exclusive cross sections of the [sup 40]Ca([sup 3]He,[ital d]) and [sup 40]Ca([sup 3]He,[ital dp]) reactions have been measured at incident energy [ital E][sup 3]He=240 MeV for an excitation energy of the residual nucleus [sup 41]Sc up to [similar to]16 MeV. The measured data are analyzed by means of the breakup-fusion theory. A formulation of the theory is developed for calculation of both exclusive and inclusive cross sections. Elastic breakup, breakup-fusion, and breakup-fusion followed by subsequent decay are taken into account in our theoretical description of the inclusive and exclusive data. The respective roles of the different processes are discussed. It is shown that the calculations reproduce very well the main features of the observed cross sections.
