Description

We outline how three-body models of the reaction A(d, p)B can be related to the underlying many-body problem and discuss the problems involved in making a precise connection. Various approximate methods for taking into account coupling to deuteron break-up channels are discussed and a practical way of correcting the adiabatic approximation is outlined. We emphasize issues that relate to the use of the A(d, p)B reaction as a tool for nuclear structure studies. (paper)
