The reactions ${}_{}{}^{124}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Sn}(d,p){}_{}{}^{125}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Sn}$, ${}_{}{}^{130}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Te}(d,p){}_{}{}^{131}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Te}$, ${}_{}{}^{138}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ba}(d,p){}_{}{}^{139}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ba}$, ${}_{}{}^{140}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ce}(d,p){}_{}{}^{141}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Ce}$, ${}_{}{}^{142}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Nd}(d,p){}_{}{}^{143}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Nd}$, and ${}_{}{}^{208}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}(d,p){}_{}{}^{209}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pb}$ have been investigated by measuring the differential cross sections of the ($d,p$) reactions and of the elastic scattering of deuterons at various incident energies below and near the Coulomb barrier. Using scattering potentials which describe the elastic scattering of the particles in the entrance and exit channels, reduced normalizations of 40 final states have been determined which are nearly independent of the uncertainties due to the ambiguities of optical potentials. The experimental errors are 8% on the average. In the energy region studied the expected constancy of derived spectroscopic factors is demonstrated.
