Polarization and Differential Cross Sections of Protons from theNi58(d, p)Ni59Reaction

The polarization of the proton groups leading to the ground state and excited states at 0.471, 0.887, and 1.318 MeV in ${\mathrm{Ni}}^{59}$ has been measured in the angular range of 10° to 30° at an average incident-deuteron energy of 14.5 MeV. A strong dependence on the total angular-momentum transfer $j_n$ was observed. In addition to the polarization measurements, the ($d, p$) differential cross sections have been measured.
