A study of the reactions208Pb(d,d)208Pb and208Pb(d,p)209Pb at energies above and below the Coulomb barrier

The reactions²⁰⁸Pb(d, d)²⁰⁸Pb and²⁰⁸Pb(d, p)²⁰⁹Pb have been studied in the energy region from below to above the Coulomb barrier. An optical-model analysis of the elastic scattering results has been performed to obtain parameters for a DWBA analysis. Distorted wave calculations for the direct transitions leading to single-particle states in²⁰⁹Pb have been used to extract spectroscopic factors. Only two deuteron potential sets give a good account of the stripping data throughout the energy region studied.
