Abstract

In this paper, we propose to use the CDCC* approach to calculate (d,p) excitation functions. Starting from the CDCC* results, we derive some (d,p) differential and integrated cross sections, then using a simple semi-phenomenological model, we calculate the excitation functions for this process. We compare our calculations with the experimental cross sections for the ²⁷Al (d, p)²⁸Al, ⁵⁸Fe(d, p)⁵⁹Fe, ⁵⁹Co(d, p)⁶⁰Co, ⁷⁵As(d, p)⁷⁶As, ⁸¹Br(d, p)⁸²Br, ⁸⁴Kr(d, p)⁸⁵Kr, ⁸⁶Kr(d, p)⁸⁷Kr, ¹⁰⁸Pd (d, p)¹⁰⁹Pd, ¹⁴⁰Ce(d, p)¹⁴¹Ce, ¹⁴²Ce(d, p)¹⁴³Ce, ¹⁴¹Pr(d, p)¹⁴²Pr, ¹⁶⁵Ho(d, p)¹⁶⁶Ho, and ¹⁸⁰Hf (d, p)¹⁸¹Hf reactions. We plan to include these cross sections into evaluations of d-induced reactions and this could be a first step for improving of the quality of the next decade cross sections libraries.
