Nuclear-Shape Effects in the Inelastic Scattering of Polarized Deuterons at 56 MeV

Differential cross sections and vector analyzing powers for the deuteron elastic and inelastic scattering from ${}_{}{}^{24}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Mg}$ and ${}_{}{}^{28}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Si}$ have been measured at 56 MeV. The coupled-channels analysis has been performed to obtain the simultaneous fits to the elastic- and inelastic-scattering data. The dependence of the coupled-channels calculations on the shape of nuclei has been investigated in comparison with the proton inelastic scattering.
