Abstract
A detailed study is made of the weakly bound projectile (WBP) model for (d, p) reactions. Differential cross sections calculated from an approximate form of the model are reported for six reactions on closed-shell, spin-zero targets ranging from 16O to 88Sr. Good fits have been found for the six angular distributions with the spectroscopic factor S = 1 and one fixed set of nucleon-nucleus parameters. It is shown how the WBP model gives insight into the stripping mechanism. Certain features of the cross sections can be attributed to the transferred neutron; others arise mainly from the scattered proton. The results support the basic picture of WBP. A more refined version of the WBP model should thus be useful for extracting accurate spectroscopic factors from stripping measurements.
