Abstract
Deuteron stripping reactions are considered. The short-range correlations for the nucleons in the nuclei are taken into account. The neutron-proton nuclear potential in the deuteron is taken as a long-range attractive potential surrounded by a short-range repulsive potential. We take different forms for the two parts of the neutron-proton nuclear potential. The differential cross sections for the two nuclear reactions Si28(d,p)Si29 and Ca40(d,p)Ca41 have been calculated for each of the nuclear potential forms. Fitting our theoretical calculations, with the experimental data, using the distorted-wave Born-approximation calculations, a good agreement is obtained. The more reliable spectroscopic factors for these reactions have been extracted.
