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

Abstract

The differential cross sections for the single-particle states of ${}_{}{}^{209}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ and single-hole states of ${}_{}{}^{207}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ excited in the ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ ($d,p$) and ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ ($d,t$) 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.
