Transition potentials for (d, p) reactions

Finite-range calculations are carried out in the distorted wave Born approximation to obtain the ²⁸Si(d, p)²⁹Si and ⁹⁰Zr(d, p)⁹¹Zr stripping differential cross sections at a number of different bombarding energies. The transition interaction responsible for the A(d, p)B reaction is assumed to be V_pn+V_pA−V_pB rather than just the proton-neutron interaction V_pn alone. Various assumptions are made about the forms of this interaction. The exact calculations are compared with second order approximate finite-range calculations employing a Hulthén form for V_pn.
