Effects of the deuteron D state in sub-Coulomb (d, p) reactions

Journal Article · · Ann. Phys. (N.Y.); (United States)
Angular distributions of the cross section, the vector analyzing power, and the three tensor analyzing powers have been measured for (d, p) reactions on /sup 90/Zr at 5.5 MeV and /sup 208/Pb at 9.0 MeV. The measurements are compared with calculations based on the distorted-wave Born approximation. For /sup 208/Pb the calculations are in excellent agreement with the measurements, while for /sup 90/Zr the agreement is only qualitative. The effect of the deuteron D state on the measured quantities is investigated. It is shown that the tensor analyzing powers arise almost entirely from the D state. A semiclassical model for sub-Coulomb (d, p) reactions is presented. This model successfully reproduces the qualitative features of the observed analyzing powers, and makes it possible to understand why the D state has a large effect on the tensor analyzing powers.
