O16(p, d)O15Form Factors

Two methods of obtaining distorted-wave form factors which provide fits to the ${}_{}{}^{16}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{O}(p, d)$ reaction are investigated. Both apply a radial damping term to a Woods-Saxon eigenfunction. One method employs a correction for the density dependence of the interaction along with the usual local-energy-approximation correction terms for nonlocality and finite range. The other method applies a simple empirical two-parameter damping term. The calculations are compared with data for $1p_{\frac{1}{2}}$ and $1p_{\frac{3}{2}}$ neutron transfers at energies from 25 to 45 MeV.
