Abstract
A review of deuteron-induced reaction analyses is carried out paying due consideration to reaction cross-section parametrization as well as theoretical models associated to the deuteron interaction process. The key role of direct interactions, i.e., breakup, stripping and pick-up processes is stressed out by the comparison of data with theoretical and evaluation predictions, including the latest TENDL-2017 library.
Highlights
On-going strategic research programs (ITER, IFMIF, SPIRAL2-NFS) [1] and medical investigations using accelerated deuterons triggered even a decade ago an update of the theoretical analysis of deuteron activation cross sections within the FENDL-library project [2]

(d, 3n) residual channel population. This is why the simultaneous analysis of (d, 3n) [7] and (p, 2n) excitation functions is so useful for the study of the inelastic breakup and complementary reaction mechanisms considered for the deuteron interactions with nuclei
Summary
On-going strategic research programs (ITER, IFMIF, SPIRAL2-NFS) [1] and medical investigations using accelerated deuterons triggered even a decade ago an update of the theoretical analysis of deuteron activation cross sections within the FENDL-library project [2]. Engle et al [6] motivated the choice of Pade fit there, despite so low predictive power and apart from nuclear modeling advance, by the deficiency in the theoretical description of the deuteron breakup. It seems appropriate a comparative analysis of empirical parametrization and microscopic studies within the experimental data and theoretical predictions leading to a final evaluation of deuteron data
