[en] Cross sections and analyzing powers have been measured for the ⁴⁰Ca(p,d)³⁹Ca reaction with polarized proton beams of 65 MeV incident energy. The data analysis with a standard distorted-wave Born approximation theory provides transferred angular momenta l, j, and spectroscopic factors for 58 transitions mainly to the 1d_3/2, 2s_1/2, and 1d_5/2 hole states in ³⁹Ca. The occupation probabilities of the surface shells in ⁴⁰Ca and the spreading widths of the hole states are determined. The damping mechanism of the single hole states is discussed
