Abstract
Reaction cross-sections and proton removal cross-sections in deuteron-induced reactions with carbon and beryllium targets are studied at intermediate energies. The cross-sections calculated in eikonal approximation show a good agreement with experimental data. The sensitivity of the cross-sections to the target structure, the nucleon-target interaction potential, and the spatial distribution of nucleons in the deuteron is discussed.
