Abstract
For more than two decades the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) has been a very useful model for the study of direct reaction phenomena. It enables us to understand much of the physics of a direct reaction and is a glopd starting point for the investigation of higher order processes 1). The DWBA has had considerable success in the description of polarization data in transfer and charge exchange reactions where the first order process is dominant. In particular it is of great value to make2gpin assignments using, for instance, deuteron stripping reactions 2). On the other hand the time seems to be coming where the reliability of DWBA calculations is sufficient to extract information on the detailed structure of light ions used as projectiles in transfer reactions. This type of study is likely to be promising in the future and may eventually be extended to polarization phenomena in heavy ion induced reactions.
