Absolute Spectroscopic Factors for (d, p) Reactions on Heavy Deformed Nuclei

A reanalysis of a previously reported experiment on the reaction ${\mathrm{W}}^{182}(d, p){\mathrm{W}}^{183}$ still shows a serious discrepancy in the absolute spectroscopic factors if we use distortion parameters that fit the elastic-scattering data. Similar deviations exist for ($d, p$) reactions on other rare-earth and actinide nuclei.
