Microscopic formalism for intermediate energy transfer reactions: Application to the (p,d) and (d,p) reactions

Using a multiple scattering framework we construct a variant of the usual distorted-wave Born appG5*4*E*-** transition matrix for stripping and pickup reactions. An alternative to the local energy approximation is derived which in the appropriate limit gives the commonly used zero range approximation for (p,d) and (d,p) reactions. Model calculations are developed in an eikonal framework and an examination of the sensitivity and energy dependence of the nuclear response function is made, using the 12C(p, d)11C(3/2-, g.s.) process
