Polarization transfer measurements for the (d,pX) reaction at Ed = 65 MeV and the reaction mechanism for the protons in the continuum

The double differential cross section d2σ/dΩdE, analyzing power Ay, polarization Py' and polarization transfer coefficient Kyy' were measured for the (d,pX) reaction with 65 MeV deuterons for 12C at 14.0deg and for 58Ni at 7.0deg, 14.0deg, 20.5deg and 40.0deg. The experimental data were analyzed within the framework of the post-form DWBA appropriate for the 'spectator breakup', and the preequilibrium exciton model together with the evaporation mode. The experimental angular distributions are well explained by taking account for these processes over the whole proton energy region observed. (author)
