Pb208(d,p) and (d,t) Reactions with 15- to 25-MeV Deuterons

Abstract
The differential cross sections for the single-particle states of Pb209 and single-hole states of Pb207 excited in the Pb208 (d,p) and Pb208 (d,t) reactions, respectively, have been measured using deuterons of energies 14.8, 20.1, and 24.8 MeV and the distorted-wave-approximation parameters for fitting the data determined. As a result, it is now possible to determine l values with confidence and to extract spectroscopic factors with a reliability of about 30% from data for high-A nuclei in this range of deuteron energies.
