A panorama of CDCC calculations for deuteron induced reactions: from elastic cross sections to transfer and inelastic ones

Abstract

In this contribution, an overview of the calculations that can be performed within the Continuum Discretized Coupled Channels (CDCC) approach to analyze deuteron induced reactions is given. First, we briefly remind the CDCC formalism. In the second part, we present an extension of the CDCC formalism which accounts for the target excitations allowing us to determine (d,d') cross sections off deformed nuclei. After the derivation of the coupled equations, we compare some calculated inelastic cross sections with experimental data. Then it is shown that the CDCC formalism can also be a useful tool to determine (d,p) or (d,n) cross sections. We illustrate this point for nuclei with N≈32.
