Use of Elastic-Scattering Parameters in (d, p) Stripping Calculations

The angular distributions of ${}_{}{}^{90}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}(d, p){}_{}{}^{91}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$, ${}_{}{}^{52}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cr}(d, p){}_{}{}^{53}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cr}$, ${}_{}{}^{206}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}(d, p){}_{}{}^{207}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$, and $\mathrm{Zn}(d, p)$ were calculated by means of the distorted-wave Born approximation in which various optical-model parameter sets were obtained by fitting appropriate deuteron and proton elastic-scattering data. In most cases it was found that parameter ambiguities did not greatly affect the relative angular distributions, but did cause differences of more than a factor of 2 between the resulting spectroscopic factors. Potential ambiguities of the form $V{R}^{\mathrm{n}}=\mathrm{const}$ were shown to be of considerably greater importance for the stripping results than were other types of ambiguities.
